<br>I'm upgrading my frontend, and it's causing me some grief. So -- let me try to let you know my current setup, and where I'm going.<br><br>My current frontend has a Geforce4 with S-Video and DVI output. I send the DVI to my Livingroom TV, and the S-Video to a RF Modulator. The coax output of the modulator goes upstairs to my bedroom, where I have an IR/RF Remote extender. So, the Bedroom TV shows the same thing as the LR TV, and I can still control Myth via the remote extender.
<br><br>Things work fine (with some resolution issues I can deal with)<br><br>So -- the problem: I'm upgrading to this motherboard: <a href="http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us/t-series/content.php?S_ID=183" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

</a> It has DVI out (and SPDIF Sound -- for when I want to get it working). But, now I only have one output (Technically two, if you include the VGA). And, I have no way that I can think of to get an analog composite (or S-Video) output to my RF Modulator.
<br><br>Any ideas for solutions?<br><br>I could put the old frontend into the bedroom -- but I only have one wireless keyboard . . . I guess it could work though. I was hoping to free up that machine for other things.<br>
<br>I also could drop a video card into my dedicated backend and put the RF modulator there. And the remote extender (if it has that much range).<br><br>But -- I'd like a solution similar to the one I have -- where the BR watches the same thing as the LR.
<br><br>Any ideas? Or is it time for two frontends?<br></blockquote></div><br>Two frontends. You're causing yourself all kinds of hassle when you can easily solve it that way. Time is money :)<br><br>Kevin<br>
