<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">Hi Folks!</P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">Bought a new (well, refurbished) Lenovo M58 for
use as an additional Frontend. Problem #1: At 1920x1080x60 Hz will randomly
blink (black screen for about a second). Both at the Desktop and any Myth
screen. At any lower resolution is fine (no blink/stays on). [Currently the
Frontend computer is connected up here to my monitor for testing – the monitor
has no problem with this resolution.] I can live with the slightly lower Desktop
resolution; only reason listed is may have some bearing on my real problem,
#2.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">Problem #2: In Myth playback no on-screen display
(of 'pause', 'bookmark saved', forwarding speed, etc.) when the TV show is 1080;
at 720 and below the on-screen overlay appears, Size of the picture appears
normal, so isn't a problem with overscanning.</P>

it seems logical!) -- cookbooking as I am a newbie:</P>

<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">No idea what that means! So if you want me to look
for something please give the command I'm to type in.</P>
