[mythtv-users] MythTV at 1920x1080i...

[Jarod C. Wilson]

Just a little report... I mentioned a bit ago that I was picking up a 
SiS video card to see if I could get a full 1920x1080i resolution out 
of it to my HDTV. The card arrived earlier this week (Transcend SiS 
Xabre 400 from newegg for $45), and I finally got around to playing 
with it tonight.

It is indeed capable of pushing a full 1920x1080i resolution to my HDTV 
(through an Audio Authority 9A60 VGA to Component adapter). At this 
point, I haven't done much more than get X up and running, but it 
works. However, the picture is overscanned quite a bit, with a bit of 
frame jitter. I haven't yet had time to tweak the modeline at all (or 
try another one altogether), but I probably will this weekend. At the 
moment, 960x540p on my nVidia card looks better at the desktop and on 
the MythTV menus (mostly because there's no frame jitter), but with 
some tweaking, who knows... Then I need to see about getting my pcHDTV 
card back up and running for some REAL diagnostics... ;-p
