Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue that I could use some help with. I just set up a dual monitor system on my GBPVR computer. I have an ATI Radeon X300 series video card with a Dell flat panel monitor on the VGA out (primary monitor) and a Old Sony Multiscan 15sf on the DVI port through a DVI to VGA cable (secondary monitor).
I can watch captured shows just fine on both monitors and the interface looks fine on both monitors. However, I can't get live TV on the secondary (Sony) monitor. The GBPVR window is simply black with no audio on the secondary monitor. If I start live TV on my primary monitor, I can move the window halfway between the two monitors and see half of the tv show and half a black window. If I start live tv on the secondary monitor, it will simply show black (and no audio) until I hit escape and restart it on the primary monitor even if I drag the window back to the primary monitor.

The live TV is coming from a Hauppauge WinPVR 250. Im stymied given that it doesnt seem to be purely a video problem since there is no audio as well. Any ideas? Would any log files be helpful for a diagnostic?

Thanks in advance

It'll just be some limitation of your video card's drivers or supporting software. You could try switching from VMR to Overlay. It might help.

This isnt a GB-PVR problem, so log files wont help.
