Re: TFT monitor as TV

["big_red_frog" <anthony.tod@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have 17 inch TFTs in the stud wall between kitchen and bathroom and=20
living room and bathroom.

1 to 8 SVGA splitter in node 0

Screen is not in bathroom yet until I make moisture proof facia.

SVGA to bedroom for another screen and trying to source 17 touch=20
glass to go in front.

For now run with ATI remote wonder, myHTPC and All in wonder for TV=20
input.

Cant get decent set up for HA control, so will write own graphic ASP=20
pages to trigger homeseer

Just got TV input patch through yesterday and picture is lousy.

on system Divx films look great, but the TV tuner is pants.

Looks like it is slightly off tune, interferance and clicky mono sound

Have patched same feed to main TV to check signal quality and it=20
looks good.

Anyone have fun with ATI all in wonder.

Not to mention that 200 combinations of driver installs I had to make=20
to get the tuner part to work :-/
