Heya,

I have an SP13000, it's hooked up to my Hitatchi Ultravision CRT via VGA to 
component, I run minimyth-0.20-20 (www.linpvr.org) on the frontend and boot 
over the network.  I had looked for the DVI-02 card back when I bought the 
SP13000 but couldnt find a place that sold it.  Where did you get yours and 
how much did it cost?

I ended up using an Audio Authority 9A60, it cost me a tad over 100$ USD.  
It is a  VGA to Component (Y-Pb-Pr) Transcoder.

I run minimyth at 720p with the following modeline
MM_X_MODELINE='ModeLine "1280x720" 74.5 1280 1344 1472 1664 720 723 728 748'
I've tried 1080i/p but have had no luck, although the hwchip can playback 
1080i streams with no problem i've read.  I also am not running the newest 
bios 1.08 i think you said.

I've played HD through xine and it plays fine but the audio drops out, I 
havent confirmed if its the clip or not.  Its something my brother recorded 
with his Fusion5 HD tuner card in his myth box.

Dave
