yes, it's nice when things happen straight away.

Err, no, I had not! I gave it a quick try last night and obviously means 
there's no X11 or console text to worry about. It did some scaling from 
704x576 to 800x450 but I have yet to look through all the Xine docs etc 
on their web site. Also, I have yet to try the TV out on this box but 
it's certainly a promising start.
