[mythtv-users] Display on HDTV

[dbakker at arrayasolutions.com]

Im using an ATI card to output 848x480 to a rgb to component out box to my 
hdtv tv. it works great. Beware of timings though. I found it easiest to 
tune my timings using powerstrip (windows) . It will give you the right 
mode lines to pop in your xconfig so things will look right.

[mythtv-users] Display on HDTV







Anyone else have an HDTV?  I have some questions.

Right now I'm using my Shuttle XPC's video out (RCA) to my TV.  The 
onboard tv-out is pretty lame (or I just haven't figured out the right 
sis X driver settings), so I'm thinking of taking the video out from the 
VGA and converting to component (R, G, B) video.

This is what I'm thinking:

1) Set the X server resolution to HDTV resolution (1080 x 607).
2) Take VGA out into a converter box ($40 or so on Ebay).
3) Use composite in on my HDTV.

Anyone else doing this?  Which converter box did you buy?

Now, please note I'm not asking about recording HDTV feeds (that's been 
discussed to death), but I just want to get the Myth GUI displayed at my 
TV's true resolution.  Right now it doesn't look very good using the 
TV-out (NTSC).

One last question; anyone using the sis driver (Shuttle XPC) have some 
recommended driver option settings to get the best quality?  Right now I 
have some weird issues with the color red slowly moving.  It appears 
banded, and the bands move like a slow refresh rate.  Quite odd.

Thanks!
