IStar VGA

[dirkomatic]

I realize it probably won't work, but is there any way to use the VGA port on the IStar with MVPMCX2/GB-PVR?

My TV has a VGA input and the NMT interface runs fine with it.

I telneted in and ran mvpmcx2 -h and all the options looked like they are for standart TV outputs. This doesn't surprise me, but is there a way to "fool" it or an option that I can use?

Thanks.

It's not really a possibility right now. I've done all of this by trial and error (there is no Programming the PCH manual) and I don't wont to take any risks on things I can't even predict the results. I did ask istar for a unit, to use for testing but they didn't reply.

If you must connect a device to a computer monitor I suggest a HDMI/DVI converter. It works great for me, I get 1080i which I can't get out of my own video card.

Thanks, Martin.

I don't really need it, I was just trying to get stuff off my semi-flaky HDMI switch.

What I found out is that the IStar actually supports component video over a VGA to component cable, which I was able to get for USD$ 5.27 shipped from monoprice.com

That may work for me.

Thanks again.
