I needed to convert the VGA output from my laptop to either S or composite video. I purchased this converter and although I can get it to display on t he video monitor the picture appears as though the vertical is running off frequency. Naturally there is no way to adjust this on most equipment these days. And there does not seem to be any way the address this in the conver ter either. I tried selecting different refresh rates and resolution setti ngs on the computer but nothing seems to make a difference. Does any one ha ve any ideas? Thanks, Lenny.

We watch OTA TV. As of the first of the year we will be losing our present NBC affiliate out of Boston. We live in Southern New Hampshire and I've been reading that the replacement is a low power Boston UHF station that will barely reach one third of the present Massachusetts viewing area. So NH is probably going to be a dead area for that signal. Consequently we may very well be watching NBC programming on the computer. This is what happens when a cable company like Comcast has an opportunity to purchase a network.
I'm presently using XP Professional. I didn't see any provision in control panel/display to set an aspect ratio. Would that parameter affect vertical frequency though? I could probably scrounge up an old TV around here with a vertical hold pot but even if it does provide adjustment would it even sync? What am I missing here? Lenny
YOu can't get WPTZ, the NBC station out of Burlington Vermont? I thought they were up on Mt. Mansfield, certainly one of the large Vermont mountains. But perhaps they have a less than omnidirectional signal. It was on channel 5, apparently now on channel 14, and has subchannels for MeTV and The CW.

I've never tried it but it's doubtful. I've tried to get CBS from Burlingto n before and I didn't even get pixels. With our elevation Boston is bad eno ugh but Burlington would be a haul for me. I have somewhat of a shot at Sou theastern Maine but even Portland would be a stretch. Lenny
