Okay, I will try to find out whats up with the Bt848 however I can say that the output of the B848 is supposed to be better than the Meteor. Part of my problem is that I really do use the Bt848 every day here so I guess I am sort of to close to it to see what you guys are claiming which I don't doubt. Been playing a little with fxtv-0.4 and is really nice -- next version I hope that I can type in the channels --- something like : 03<enter> . Useful when I running fxtv full screen . The other keyboard feature which I would like is freeze frame Maybe assigned to numeric keypad "/" so with "+" and "-" I can scan quickly and then freeze something that I may like. The "-" and "+" is great for surfing 8) Cheers, Amancio >From The Desk Of Thomas Pfenning : > Will do tomorrow.
