Spoke too soon. I haven't been using the HT enough to give it a good test. It's showed up a couple of times since then, but cycling power generally clears it up. Hopefully it will go away for good once Barry does the fix on mine.

All works fine now, I did post a picture in the EE topic.
My GF6600GT (agp) is also XFX, 128MB and driver is 9.1.3.1.
Even a cheap 3:1 hdmi switcher to extend the inputs of the Moome box works great!
Moome and the others did a great job to solve the problems and almost for free

Why did you decide to leave out the bead and cap fix(post filter) ?

Because the result is pretty good without them, but maybe I'll add the other parts later if some more mods have been done by others.
The bead and cap fix was the first thing Moome tried when the EE problem appeared, but this wasn't the best solution because the wrong type diodes still spoiled the signal.
The diodes are the main cause of the EE problems and my box is now like Moome designed it in the first place.
I'm also a little bit concerned about the 100MHz type of the beads, with the right diodes in place I can imagine that a higher MHz value would be better but I think no one has tried that yet.

I see your point, there was some talk in the other thread about loss of sharpness with Moomes first fix in which they tried 2 different cap values which affected high frequency rolloff. All this was before Moome discovered the diode issue. Moomes decision to leave in that post filter may still be causing a slight softening effect.

Hi,
I too have a GT6600 card and have the same issues you guys reported at the start of this thread. I've just emailed moome and hopefully when I get the parts and put them up it will be resolved for me too.
Just to clarify though that the green and ringing issue parts fix also fixes the problems you had with having to press the 'display' button?

Yes, that is correct. The new chip will fix the green issue and pressing 'display' will have no effect on the picture which is normal...Scott
