Hello, thanks for picking up on this post. I recently purchased a new 32 HDTV, and hooked it up to my laptop so I could watch Instant play Netflix content on my HDTV from my laptop, this worked fine, except I couldn't get the video display settings to work with my TV (laptop video card stinks). So I hooked it up to my PC - which is a really nice PC, the video card is a nVidia 7600 GTX video card. I have my TV hooked into the back of the video card via an S-Video to Component Video Conversion connector. Meaning I have the S-Video attached to my PC, and the component video attached to the TV. The picture looks beautiful, I can play games and what not, however certain video content will not play; such as DivX, or Netflix online content. WMV files seem to work fine. Does anyone have any input on this? Thanks!
