    I just re-read some earlier posts of your problem. So your TV isn't your primary device?

    I would say the mozilla control renders to the primary display device only and this is by design.

    I see no easy solution other than to make your TV your primary display device.

    I hope someone has an idea of how to fix this, i cant change primary display.
    (Placement and use of the PC prevents it)

    I don't get why you can't have your TV as your primary device if everything is displayed on both except the web browser plugin?

    Changing the mozilla control would be no easy task.(for me anyways) C++ is not my strong point.

    i am sorry, but i still dont get it.
    what limitations do you have when you set the TV as primary display?

    If the TV is the primary display, the windows desktop(icons, start menu, programs) will appear on the TV instead of the monitor. Am I right?

    I have dual LCD on my desktop and this is true, but there might be hope! :)

    I came accross this program Ultramon the other day that will allow you to do mirroring accross multiple monitors. Whether or not this works with a tv out I am not sure. I haven't used this program either.

    http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/tour/mirroring.asp

    The other solution as a last resort is simply switch your tv to the primary display when you use mediaportal or perhaps create a config that you can switch in windows? I think you can do that.

    If its simply not selected in the home try selecting it again and saving the configuration. If that doesn't work you could try editing the MediaPortal.xml file in notepad.
