ok this must look funny talking to myself. it seems overlay wont come across on the analog tv monitor. thats what it was

I've been told that overlay doesn't always work on a secondary monitor. But, I've got a gf4 ti 4200 on my client & don't seem to have a problem getting overlay to show on the secondary. I'm using DualView mode... what drivers & mode are you using for 2 monitors?

using clone
and the newest drivers

i can get the tv feed on there using non overlay but no option will let dvd's play through.

Overlay might not get copied in clone mode (I don't remember). If you run in VMR9, that should work in clone mode -- you have to go to the DVD tab in Detailed Setup to set the renderer for DVD playback, since it is separate from regular video playback.

If you want to use overlay, try setting your video card ot use DualView & then simply drag the SageTV window to the second monitor/TV -- don't forget to extend the Windows desktop onto the 2nd monitor.
