Jarod,

just wanted to thank you for all your help (and for making me aware of
your very useful webpage). I have set up the metamode now and have
MythTV configured to use Xinerama screen 1 so it now shows on tv. Also
had to set the MythVideo settings so that the mplayer command includes
"-xineramascreen 1", otherwise it was playing on the monitor rather than
tv. I need to do the same for MythDVD for DVD and VCD playback but the
command isn't editable. I'll have to hunt that one down. But thank you
very much for all your help.

Regards,
Andrew
