TV on a Infocus 4800 and a AIW 9800 Pro

My hope and dream was to use my PC w/ the AIW as the tuner, and the Infocus as the display.

So, try it out last night with monday night football, annnnd, I can't find a way to output the TV stream to the Projector.

I tried setting it up as a 2nd monitor. Can drag file player windows, and dvd windows over to the 2nd monitor, however, the TV window refuses to be dragged off the Primary display.

Primary is a 1600x1200, 32 bit, 75hz, Secondary is 800x600, 32bit, 60hz. Projector is a Infocus 4800, using the 15 pin to Component adapter.
 
I set it up to clone display then set my prj as primary monitor and watch tv that way
my setup isn't exactly what you have, I use a winfast tv card & an epson prj (trying to sell it to buy an infocus 4805) 😉

hope this helps

Video apps that use an overlay surface will only work on the 'Primary' display. Apparently the AIW TV app is one of these; there may be an option to use DXVA or a software mode.

You can also have the projector be the 'primary' and the monitor be the 'seconday'. Or just mirror them. There's also "Theater Mode", which essentially mirrors any video you play fullscreen onto the second monitor (although this prevents any sort of program with a UI from being very usable if you want to have the projector as the only display).
 
aye, set it up as a cloned display (monitor and prjctr show same image) instead of extended desktop
