Well, you have me just a bit bamboozled here.....vlc is working fine I 
assume with Ubuntu, and there is a slight hassle with xine/Ubuntu, is 
this correct?[1]

But you are having serious problems with both vlc and xine under 
Windows7, right?[2]

Or do I have it all wrong...?


[1] xine needs to be configured; control panel- extreme bottom 
left-hand, the small icon with the spanner in it; or right-click on the 
TV window and select Settings>Setup.

Was it to you that I said I would send a copy of my setup file which you 
could then adjust to suit your h/ware and which would save you lots of 
time in trying to figure out all the settings? If you want a copy just 
let me know.


[2]  I know that vlc is available for Windows but don't know about xine.
