GB-pvr and clone mode on TV

[bakunin]

Hi, i have a hauppauge wintv pvr-150 card with a geforce ti 4200.

I use wintv as a Tv-in and Geforce as Tv-out.

I want to be able to use GBPVR with my remote and access it directly trough my tv, i use Geforce (tv-out)clone mode wich only show me the center of the screen.

The problem is i use a 1280x720 resolution on my monitor and the max i can have on my tv is 1024x768. I definatly doesn't want to go on my PC and reduce resolution evry time i use the program

I tried the dualview thing but i hate it because when i use other program or game and my mouse get on the other screen, the application quit and evry time i go on the net and i try to scroll the page, it goes to the other screen :o

I think there are only 2 solution but i dont know if they work so here are my questions:

1) is it possible to make GB-PVR run at a 1024x768 resolution automatically a bit like full screen application/games wich reduce automatically the resolution when they are runned and go back to the desktop resolution once we exit the application ?

2) is it possible to disable the zoom of a (tv-out) clone mode on a TV ?

3) if those two solutions are impossible, is there a way to display GB-PVR on a TV and actually see it in full screen ?

You should be able to adjust the output from your TV-Out within your NVIDIA Detonator/ForceWare Graphicsdriver.

Ahhh! NOW i understand your Problem! No, in CLONE-Mode you'll never be able to get different Solutions onto 2 displays with the NVIDIA Graphicscard.
I needed something like this for my business (2 TFT's -> 1 15" and 1 17") and with NVIDIA it was hell at different resolutions.
I gave it up and bought for my business PC a Matrox MGA 400 Dualhead. CLONE @ different Resolutions are no problem.

The only thing you could try, were to change the size of the displayed image on the TV-Out within the ForceWare Control Panel

but if i put 1600x1200 on my 21" conventional tv, will it damage my tv and explode in my face :confused: or the tv can handle a resolution that high.

Your video card's TV out will just scale the video down to a resolution your TV can handle.. so basically you'll be sacrificing some quality, I don't think it's worth it.

the best way would be to run gb-pvr in 1024x768, but there is no option for that in the config, i guess ill have to find a way to run it at that resolution, anyone know if it is possible with some kind of dos command ?

IMO your best option is a Hauppauge MediaMVP.
