Hi - thanks for the tip. Unfortunately even now I have done that, same
issue - only 640 x 480 appearing :(
Are the options I have for the modeline not correct?

I'm not very clued-up in all of this, been trying for 3 weeks to get it working.
It works (HDMI output to the TV) if I use the standard mythbuntu
driver (not the NVIDIA driver) - but that defeats the purpose of this
setup - using the graphics hardware acceleration for HD playback! :(

Thanks again folks
