	My windows MCE computer ran on PAL-I 1026x768 60Hz. LinuxMCE dosn't have this as an option in the setup. When you select S-Video you can select PAL-I but it won't let you select a resolution and it defaults to 640x480. Once I had it set up I found that I could go into both the Media Director and the Orbitor and change it to 1024.768. That seemed to work fine.		My windows MCE computer ran on PAL-I 1026x768 60Hz.
