RE: [OT] Vista MCE DVD playback

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm.. that would be OK, the current connection to the plasma is
DVI-out
to the Analog VGA-in via a DVI-Dsub adapter... the plasma only has 1
HDMI in (occupied), and the PC input is analog VGA...

I suppose the "correct" UKHA-ers answer would be to buy a new
plasma
with more HDMI inputs.... :-)
