[mythtv-users] overscan problems with nvidia 8400 GS

[Tortise]

Hi Brian

Your suggestion is a good one, regrettably I am not in the US, however I am sure someone in the US may well be interested to take up 
your suggestion.  As best I can tell the case has significant merit. (If any such attorney wants an expert witness I am becoming 
one!  Much of what has been said may well be useful to any such persons)

I am looking into the local situation - and having local discussions and negotiations.  I see making others aware of the issues that 
nag us is also important.  I remain open to the possibility I have read it wrong, however the more I examine it the more convinced I 
am that my interpretation is the correct one.  Of course each countries laws will vary and those are well beyond my knowledge. 
Forums such as this are a good place to test whether one is on the right track or not.  So far I have not felt discouraged.  Indeed 
I am grateful for people continuing this discussion to ensure the arguments are robust.  Thank you.

Didn't someone win a lot of money against one of the hard drive makers on a
1000/1024 dispute?

Perhaps you should contact whatever attorney handled that case.
