I am surprised to hear about all these horror stories of s-video being so bad. I've done s-video on an MX440 and an FX5200 plus, both with excellent results. The s-video out on my mediamvp is pretty good, but there is definitely a difference between that and my other two frontends. I tried knoppmyth and that worked like a charm as well. I've pretty much been able to test configurations by just booting up a machine with knoppmyth and connecting to my backend to verify the components work, and look good as well. Am I just lucky? Paul
