I'm ignoring the TV-Out port; there is NO TV-Out that can output HDTV,
so that's ireelevant to this discussion.  Useful to someone else, but
irrelevant to me.

That's why I'm asking for the actual VGA specs.  I suppose I'm going to
have to contact their technical support lines once I'm close.  Then
of course I get to decide how I want to get IR into the box -- do I
put in a PVR-250 and make it a slave backend or do I do something else?
