Hi all!
I have a nifty new HTPC in the works, and as the pieces are arriving at my home here and there I'm trying to get the connections all planned out. As I install and configure my new HTPC, I'll also be moving all my equipment to a closet across the room.
My question: In my forum searches, I have seen that some folks have experienced a "green band" when using the VGA input. Rather than buying a transcoder, I'd like to just use a straight VGA cable from my Radeon 9000pro card, and component cables from my HDTV cable box. Will this work ok? Is the "band" a showstopper? Is there a workaround?
I do have a Denon 4802 to do component switching if needed, but again, I don't really care to buy a transcoder.
Many thanks to all you nice folks.
