Joshua,

Thanks a bunch! It was that easy?? :-) It works great now.

BTW, what tv tuner software do you use? I use TVTime... I find I have
to do a lot of picture tuning to get a good picture
(brightness/contrast/hue). How about you? If you use the same app,
what settings do you find work good for you? Some channels I can get
looking really good, while others I spend a lot of time fiddling
with... especially the contrast/brightness adjustments (either the
whites are over-exposed-looking, or it's TOO dark, of the dark colours
have no definition).

Thanks again!

-Steve.
