[mythtv-users] Artifacts on screen with DVI to HDMI cable

[Daniel Agar]

I have an MSI FX5200 that I was using to output to a sharp aquos dvi->hdmi
cable that has the same problem. After I swapped the card everything
worked perfectly with the same cable I had and a different make of FX
5200.

Sorry to top post, just following suit.
