Split television display

[sam1965]

Good Morning,

I'm trying to set up Mythbuntu 9.04 and have been successful (because of this forum). However, I have run into a snag that I first thought was a driver problem, but now I'm convinced it is an operator's headspace issue. I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple.

First off, When I watch TV, the screen is split horizontally, resulting in the same image twice on the screen one on top of the other, but squashed. Funny thing is that 3 of the channels are perfect with no split. All others split.

I am using the on-board video which is an ATI HD 3300. I downloaded and installed the newest drivers from the ATI website.

Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

I got my remote working last night. When I pressed the menu button on the remote, one of the options was video scan. I set the video scan to progressive and that fixed the split display problem.

However, It reverts back every time I change channels. How do I save the change to progressive scan?

Thanks for the help

i am having the same problem with my ATi HD3200 in my htpc. its weird that some channels are ok and others are not. must have been something to do with progressive scan vs interlaced for the broadcasting stations. i'm not getting sound thru my spidf and i don't have admin rights to Ati Catalyst yet to change the screen and dual monitor settings, so i've got ome work to do. what remote are you using and do you know if there is a default Hotkey on the keyboard? im only using a wireless kb and mouse for now, then a harmony 880, when i get around to setting it up.

I had this same issue, I ended up having to change the playback profile from cpu++ to normal in the playback settins part of the front end.

Utilities/Setup --> Setup --> Playback
