Well, as this is a dedicated VDR box without any keyboard, mouse or normal VGA screen restarting Xine is the same as restarting the whole system. I don't have a desktop where Xine will be running and where I can just restart it, it's all on the same headless system. Good deinterlace is of course important, especially with a projector that natively wants a progressive signal. > ATI's X drivers may give you some gray hairs, but I have heard they've > gotten > better in the last year or so.

Of course some HDTV content is available through satellite and could be fun to play with (still need to bite the gory tools and install a dish for that)... :) Thanks for the feedback, it was much appreciated. -- Jan Ekholm jan.ekholm@xxxxxxxxxxxx
