    DVI-I or VGA to Component HDTV y/pr/pb doesn't work why?

    Yes, the only way is out from s-video YPbPr to component in which is only available on older cards.

    Last generation of graphic cards with HDTV s-video?

    A s-video can output 1366x768 (WXGA) 1080p 720P to a component Y/Pb/Pr input, that is still classed as a High Definition format and is a higher definition than standard definition of 480i but not true HD of 1920x1080 1080p. S-Video is a analogue signal not digital but with a component cable...

    New to HTPC, fresh build need reccomendations

    Not at all. It provides a better menu which is what users want. Quality over quantity. It is faster than the majority of boxes out there and navigating the android and kodi menus is slick with no stuttering at all and so is enough for the job. A chromebox with i3 and i7 cpu would cost much more...

    Last generation of graphic cards with HDTV s-video?

    Which were the last and fastest models of graphic cards to have HDTV s-video out? I know Nvidia 7600GT had s-video. Any later than that?

    Minix Neo X5 - Playing 1080p over Ethernet

    MKS is not a compressed format but a container format so changing from mkv wouldn't make a difference unless the stuttering is caused by handling the bigger file size. The NAS ethernet maybe just too slow. Possible solutions Try mp4 for much smaller file size. You will need the h.264 encoder...

    New to HTPC, fresh build need reccomendations

    I would instead get one of these. One of the best Android boxes out now for $180. It has some power. You can configure it to how you want. It has many interface ports.You can run Kodi and Plex on it. You can run emulators from the App store. It's half the cost of a HTPC. It will take 64GB SD...

    DVI-I or VGA to Component HDTV y/pr/pb doesn't work why?

    DVI-I carries both digital and analogue so as that didn't work I use VGA adapter that converts DVI-I to all analogue which is sent to YPbPr analogue. The TV has no HDMI or VGA connections only component and scart. A analogue signal to a analogue signal. Right it can't be done. You obviously...

    DVI-I or VGA to Component HDTV y/pr/pb doesn't work why?

    Connecting PC to TV. Graphic card has DVI-I port. I connect a DVI-I to component cable to the y/pr/pb component-in to the TV. DVI-I carry analogue signal. Doesn't work. So i use a DVI-I to VGA adapter to make it all analogue. I then use a VGA cable to y/pr/pb component-in cable. Doesn't...

    MSI Live Update showing 1.80 bios available when I have 4.7?

    I fitted a MSI Z97i AC and reflashed first time with bios 4.70 within Windows. It came up with list of bios updates including 1.80. Strange I had 4.7. Is 1.80 part of the Bios update? I can't show the list of updates because now the board is DEAD after reinstalling Windows and installing MSI...

    Quick turnaround: Z97 Motherboard request - which should I get?

    I was going to suggest a ASROCK Z97 E. It's a clear winner over the MSi Z97i AC And $50 cheaper than the one you bought would of done the job for you and more. Never flash the BIOS with the MSI live update in Windows.
