    Ok so I'm trying to get my Avermedia A577 Expresscard tuner to work with my Xbox 360 when it's in PAL-60 format (Which for some stupid reason M$ have forced upon us here in the UK and many games, such as Forza 2 run in only that format...).

    But despite Avermedia kindly giving me a beta version of a driver which supports the PAL-60 signal I cannot get it to output properly. Those of you in the UK may or may not have noticed that when setting an application to display in NTSC you get what is basically a grey screen with loads of lines across it and the picture behind...

    ...that's what is happening at the moment with the new drivers when I set the device to use the PAL-60 format!

    I suspect the drivers are still at fault or the AverTV app but I'm now trying to get Vista MC to work with the S-Video input of the A577 tuner so that I can eliminate the AverTV app as being at fault.

    However I have run across a problem - no option to setup an S-Video input in Vista MC...

    Does anyone know how I can tell Vista Media Centre it's supposed to be taking the signal from the S-Video input, not the TV Aerial input?

    I don't have a remote if that info is of any use...

    Thanks in advance for any help on this. :)
