I've set up my brother-in-law with an MCE PC but in his case he wants to use
it both as the family PC and an MCE PC. So we placed it by his family room
TV. We have the VGA on this video card going to his computer monitor and
the s-video going to the TV. Does anybody know the right combination of
setting in the Control Panel Display applet and the ATI Displays tab (off
the Advanced button of the Display applet) to get the appropriate video
resolution on the TV (it's a standard NTSC TV)? And how do you get the MCE
app to show up on the TV? Is it easy to switch MCE between the TV and the
computer monitor? I have a dedicated MCE box in my family so I've never had
to deal with multiple monitors.

Thanks,
Keith

Well I futzed around enough with it to get it to work where the TV clones
the primary display but both kick into a res that the TV will handle.
That'll work for now.
