Not OT at all -- especially since I added cc to the V4L mailing list :-D I am talking about the Lite model, but the Gold model works as well. The connection behind the mounting bracket is exactly the connection that I'm talking about -- it works. I have no idea why DViCO chose to hide that behind a metal plate, but I have the card installed in my system without the plate at all. You can probably pick up a new metal plate with a hole cut out for s-video... I'll leave that to you ;-) > Also, and if you don't mind the complete OT, I've been reading the > list like crazy for the past week or so, when you guys talk about the > frontend, what is it? is it the actual part of the board that does the > "tuning", the big metal box? Sorry for the noobiness here. The big metal box is the TUNER... In your case, it's a LG-H062F ... Inside that box, there is a tua6034 pll (this does the actual tuning), tda9887 IF demod, and lgdt3303 atsc demod ... That last item is what we have been referring to as a "frontend." > > Thanks, Luis. Cheers, Michael Krufky
