I've been working for a week or so on getting MCE set up to operate on my TV.
I have my Vista PC with NVIDIA 7600 connected via S Video to my Sony 5200ES receiver then via S Video to my CRT TV. My telly's old but superb with no faults.
I have set up MCE using the automatic settings offered to me on MCE, having made sure it's configured for S Video etc, and it seems by and large to work well.
However, whether I'm playing from a disc on my DVD drive or from an (uncompressed) DVD ripped to my hard disk, I'm getting occasional imperfections. They're hard to describe, but it often appears as though there's a wobbly line running left to right, causing the upper part of the picture to be slightly offset from the lower. I have not been able to determine what conditions cause this eg bright or fast moving scenes. It seems quite random.
If I didn't know better I'd guess it might be a dodgy connection, but I know all the cables are OK and have swapped them round to make sure.
There are so many variables at play and I've discounted everything I can think of. Could anyone offer any ideas as to what they think might be the problem?
