I'm also using the latest SIS driver from winischhofer.net. Hmm, when
I play the pchdtv.com sample in mplayer, I get video of some people on
a train (and it's doubled horizontally so there are two images of the
same thing). When I play the same one within Myth, I get video of a
man and a woman singing, and it plays completely properly. I guess
there are two channels in that stream, but I don't know why mplayer
chooses one and Myth the other.
You say you had to abandon onboard SIS. What did you use instead? My
Pundit has no AGP slot.
