You were sending this to TVout?

You could send it to a normal monitor output too by doubling up the
lines as well as displaying at twice the frame rate.  Thats a feature
I'd really like to see as IMHO the TV is dying as a display device and
we're all going to be using monitor style non-interlaced displays
soon!
