I just spoke to someone from Audio Authority which is the company that |
| 13 |
makes the device I linked to: |

The guy there says it won't work because a computer outputs a |
| 18 |
non-interlaced signal and a standard TV uses interlaced. Basically, |
| 19 |
exactly what you said. From your link, it looks like an interlaced |
| 20 |
signal can be specifiec in xorg.conf which should solve that problem. |

Is that right? |
