I have to be very careful about tweaking the virtual desktop to get the screen aligned properly, and I hate mesing it up to change the channel. :) BTW, I had a chance to pull the 0324 code. Works great!! My thanks to the people who've put it together so far. Now I need to grab my long coax cable and hook the audio to my stereo, then....oh boy! :) While we're shooting the breeze, have you noticed that small on-screen text seems a bit fuzzy? It looks like the lines are reversed... is this a byproduct of the bt848 or something we can tune? I'll try to snap a screenshot of this when it's on. Is there any way of interrogating the cards and finding out if the channel is broadcasting stereo? It doesn't sound like it is doing stereo decode, although this is the WinCast/dbx. I can't tell with headphones on standard TV on channels our Sony TV says are on stereo. I suppose I need to find a movie or something that does a lot of left/right type panning. The stereo in ports on the card are working okay, they pipe properly out to the soundcard. An Nintendo64 with WaveRace tests that real nicely. (WaveRace is a Jetski racing game) ttyl!
