161664 2003-07-21 00:12:00 I'm trying to use my PC as a SKY TV Recorder, however when I have both the monitor (SAMSUNG 753dfx) and the video out (s-video) plugged in, my PC fails to load (Windows XP Pro SP1) . . . It shows the XP Logo etc . . . but restarts when it attempts to display the desktop . The PC eventually starts again after about 3 attempts when the video-out lead is unplugged .

I think it could be a problem with the default monitor or refresh rates but I’m not sure .

Recording TV via the Video-In works fine, however I have to manually configure the N-View Display properties to get the video out to display through my SONY receiver each time, due to the re-starting issues .

This isn't as important, but it would be nice to know if anyone could tell me how to display just the video via the TV out, and not on the PC monitor? The instructions for the card are fairly limited . . . .

Many thanks

161667 2003-08-01 07:41:00 what kind of PSU do you have? anything less than 350w and it could be that you don't have enough power to run the two displays roofus (483)

161669 2003-08-03 06:38:00 The card came with a blue cable that plugs into the 9 pin mini DIN connector. The blue cable has video in and out connectors, each with s-video and composite connectors.
