    Hi mate!!

    That it most probably the so called macrovision protection!! I think there is nothing wrong with your Kyro, since i've got one too and everything works fine through TV-out....everything but playing DVDs!! I get dark/light image stucking in my TV during playback of DVDs, using PowerDVD XP!

    Now, if it is really the macrovision protection, try this tip: migrate back to PowerDVD v2.55 :\ Then, whenever you want to see a DVD through TV-Out, follow these steps: Run PowerDVD and load the DVD...and ONLY after doing so, switch to TV-Out mode and if everything went fine, PowerDVD will "forget" macrovision and you will get a perfect image in your TV...worked for me anyway!!

    I think that is a bug in PowerDVD v2.55, however it was fixed in XP version...i don't know if this trick works in earlier versions, but these are the only versions i've got and i can assure you that it works in v2.55...

    I wasn't really happy for roling back to an older version but it was worthy!!

    Btw, i'm using PowerVr reference drivers, but i will risk to say this tip isn't affected by the Graphic card drivers, even i'm not sure!!

    Hope this helps you somehow!!
