and they sent me a brand new D11-500 for a replacement. This D11-500
receiver is giving me a 1/4 inch garbage bar

Is there a way to crop the top slightly on 1 tuner?</blockquote>

Hi! Are you sure this isn't just the normal VBI data that comes in over
a normal broadcast? Usually overscanning is the solution to this. You

Admittedly, it's odd that it only occurs with the S-Video output.<br>

Yeah, over/underscan can be adjusted in the xorg.conf, but that would
take 1/4" from the other capture card/receiver which is ok.. If I
swap S-video cables on my sat boxes, the garbage line goes to the other
card, so this tells me the s-video signal is not quite right from this
replacement receiver. I didn't know if there was an easy was to
slightly crop one capture card or not.<br>
<br>
I could move to the composite which looks ok, but hate to drop svideo.
I would assume that composite would be better than coax though. <br>
<br>
This is my second unit in 2 weeks. The original unit would not receive
signal on some channels (defective unit). Now this one has a SVideo
under/overscan. This goes to show you how cheap the direc tv hardware
is these days!<br>
