The amusing thing is, I've been using QNX 4 and it supports the TV-Out of the old RAGE II just fine. QNX has, therefore, found its way into settop box configurations, and other TV-output applications that have nothing to do with Macrovision :-) In any event, thanks much for the info and pointers; appreciate it!
