Hmm, studio quality digital PAL video is just 768x576 in screen size,
so 1000 pixels is just not possible with such a low cost product !

Please can you look into the manual ?

Is the pic YUV coded or RGB digitized ?

Does it also support 38 Khz and up to 50 or 64 Khz horizontal scanning
frequencies from the SVGA card ?

How do you connect it ? 
Does the SVGA output go via the feature connector to the Video Blaster
?
And then do you connect your SVGA monitor to the video blaster card ?

Does it also work under win3.1 in a 800x600x256 windows screen size ?
(with 70 Hz image frequency (49 Khz horizontal scanning frequency)

Does it also work with 1024x768x256 win3.1 screen size ?

>Yes, you can watch TV in Windows if you want it. 

What resolution has the TV-window (x-y-screen size)?
