Good luck.

Thanks, I was running it on a "cheapo" old PC at my shore house. Its an HP Vectra PIII 850Mhz running XP and PSer 5.04 with an integrated Intel 82815 chipset. I changed from 85 to 60Mhz and picture showed up. Also disabled post processing. A little anoying that had to change refresh to watch TV.. any chance this will get fixed?

I had a problem with my placeshifter client that the audio was fine but the video was black. I was using a Plextor capture device that was set to DiVX. Once I changed the setting to MPEG, the video worked fine.
