Ooo, that could be it. How do I turn it off. I've just googled and
found that xbv can do it, but that seems to be XBOX specific. In
my case, I have a Jetway board with a CN700 and VT1622A

Two fold: Colours are slightly weaker and the image is slightly softer
than with my DVRs. If I knew it was all down to the use of S-Video
then I could try another ITX board that has component out, but if that
still left me with a soft image, those boards don't then give the option
of VGA => RGB (dot clock wont go low enough, and they can't output
interlaced via VGA).
