[mythtv-users] Guide too big / fonts too small

Rob,

I have an analog cable system.  I have the coaxial cable from my wall  
plugged into the female coax connector on the card marked TV (the 2nd  
one is not an output; it's an input for an FM antenna).

I then have the 'splitter cable' or whatever you want to call it,  
plugged into the card with the svideo/composite/left audio/right audio  
connectors on it.  I am using three RCA cables, one composite two audio  
to go to the TV.  I have no issues with the audio output, I am not  
using my sound card.

	-David
