XCard setup Question

I just bought an XCard for my SageTV Client machine.. and the difference in Quality is STUNNING! I had been recording at the highest level just to have near VHS quality on my software rendering.. with the XCard I can use 2GB/Hr and get a flawless (almost) reproduction!!

My question is.. since putting in the XCard, I only get video on my TV.. the OSD is on my PC, but all video goes out to the TV-Out port. I know with my Hollywood+ system, I get an option for TV or Console.. is there any way to do this with the Sage stuff and the X-Card short of changing the rendering back to software when viewing on the PC?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a NVIDIA GEFORCE 440MX.. currently I have the connector running exteranally so that the video from the NVIDIA Card feeds into the XCARD and the Video Out from the XCard goes to the Monitor and TV through the appropriate cables... with my Hollywood + system, the setup is exactly the same and the H+ card will overlay it's video to the CRT if I select.. you say the XCARD can't do that unless I have a ribbon cable that connects the two?

Bummer!
