I am currently running BTV3.5 with an ATI 9600 ,and WinTv250. Under the setting on my ATI card for overlay I have an option called Theater mode while my displays are in clone mode. from what I understand this option allows application to write directly to the frame buffer for TV out on my video card. So if I am running the Wintv 2000 application it will write video information directly to the frame buffer. the results are having my television set display only the video of live TV or a recording and my PC screen displaying the application. Even if the application is minimized the video stream is still sent to my TV. This also works for windows media player. Its truly an assume feature.

Is there anyway to get beyond TV to take advantage of this feature. From what I understand Nvidia has the same features.
