Re: Homevision Text over external video

["eamonnogorman" <eamonnogorman@xxxxxxx>]

Okay, I tried another video source for my external video, and get
the same thing, so its unlikely to be as you say David.

I just used my VCR Video output directly into HV, and directly back
out again and straight into my telly. Same thing.

Am I doing something really stupid here ?

I go into HV CONTROL MENU, SELECT VIDEO, and then just select
"iNITILISE FOR EXTERNAL VIDEO OVERLAY" followed by
"DISPLAY VIDEO SCREEN NUMBER 84"

Thats right is#nt it ?
