[linux-dvb] Re: Choosing the "best" DVB-S premium card

[Michal Dobrzynski <michal@appl.com.au>]

Thanks for the pointer.

Unfortunately  the Loewe chassis I have doesn't like just about all  
modelines. It takes literally hours and hours with the TV connected to  
one output and a monitor connected to the other in mirroring mode (this  
allows me to recover from going outside the limitations of the VGA  
input for the thousandth time) to find valid modelines. As best as I  
can tell they are all 60hz plus or minus 0.5hz or so.

Sadly the VGA input on the TV just isn't a practical alternative to a  
good TV out. It's great for browsing the web, watching downloaded  
trailers, or just general use but not for TV.

Regards,
Michal Dobrzynski
