Hello All,<br><br>For my 2c I have an ATI X800 which has the component (VIVO) output, while I'm currently using the DVI port to my TV's HDMI port I can see 1080i as clear as if it came from the source so far...<br>
<br>For cables and converters though give <a href="http://www.monoprice.com">www.monoprice.com</a> a shot<br><br>Joe<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/19/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Mark Bell</b> <<a href="mailto:markb@pilgrim.com">

<br>><br>> I have an Asus 7600GS PCIe16 (fanless) working just great on 1080i via<br>> component-out dongle to my CRT RPTV w/recent (9746) nvidia binary<br>driver.<br>> Had a very unsuccessful time last August trying to get a VGA-RGBHV
<br>> breakout<br>> cable to work w/ the TV and fiddling with modelines. What worked was<br>the<br>> Option "TVStandard" "HD1080i" and let the TV-encoder worry about the<br>> modeline. The 7600 is considered overkill here but I was in a "better
<br>safe<br>> than sorry" mode trying to get my first myth box working before the<br>fall<br>> TV<br>> shows started. I just barely made it and have been watching way too<br>much<br>> TV<br>> ever since, thanks to the mythtv developers (before myth I had a
<br>> HD-DirecTivo).<br>><br>><br>> _______________________________________________<br>> mythtv-users mailing list<br>> <a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br>> <a href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">
