On a alternate way, instead of link the two SAA7146 pins (to regenerate a pseudo VSYNC signal), one could mount the two CMOS divider circuits (sorry, I don't remember now the references, but are on the refered documentation) on the pads that are reserved for its, on rev 2.2 & 2.3 PCB; to more details, on rev 2.3 cards this pads are below the PCB string 'DVB-s Rev.: 2.3'. I don't have the rev 2.3 card, so I can't verify the feasibility of my idea. Best regards: -- Roberto Deza Asensio Universidad de Navarra Data Procesing Center rdeza@xxxxxxx
