Re: TVs / Monitors of Choice

There are some known issues with some Nvidia 6000 series cards regarding their "tv out" or S-Video out. In my case the BTV full screen GUI menus etc., display fine on the TV-out line of the video card. BUT if using BTV in "overlay" mode, the TV out playback window is blank. In overlay the Nvidia TV-out won't work for me. I have to use 3d Accel. in order to have program playback viewable.

I've done some research and it seems this is a common problem. But if you are using the secondary monitor (DVI) output then it should be okay.

BTW, if anyone has a solution for this problem please PM me (don't want to hijack this thread)
