    HD Content Canada

    I think the only way to get US tv to an address in Canada is satellite, DirectTV or something like that, not sure what there is there as I am in Canada. I have to get Atlantis via a different means then live on tv as its on Sci-fi HD. I don't think Canada gets if for a while after unless the...

    720p and hdcp

    I watched a 720p video file on my computer hooked up to a 15 inch monitor via VGA @ 1024*768 and on my TV using DVI to HDMI @ 1920*1080 with no problems. besides the 15 inch monitor setup skipping because that computer was too slow. The video was still clear and worked over both methods I tried.

    Tv Out & Hd Tv

    I found that with mine, I had to change the picture mode on my tv to "dot by dot" rather then stretch or smart stretch(stretches sides rather then the middle). I also told my computer to set a res of 1920x1080 and the refresh rate was changed to 30 to reflect a 1080i signal. Despite the fact...

    add a second video card

    Then how did I use the onboard and PCI video card at the same time? It was an old IBM Aptiva, 350 mhz. I put a 16 meg Voodoo card in it as an upgrade and then took it to work where we had a few monitors on the desks so I had the idea of plugging on both to see what happened and it worked. I'v...

    Fixing a split raid 5 array

    Steevo, I cant rollback the driver because vista was on that raid that is now broken and is inaccessible. LeeJend, thanks for looking. I hope something can be done, as all 5 drives are good and should contain their data but are just not listed in the same array.
