On the subject of attenuators, the TV22 is not a very sensitive set. I find that 6 dB is fine for a TV22 connected to an aurora or a hegdhog (I think that's how Frank spelt it).

Hi Andy
I tried both a 6dB and a 12dB with the Aurora and the Hedghog (I think I got it right this time!), but apart from the need to increase contrast a bit, I didn't really see any difference in the testcard. What should I look for? It would be great if you could post a before and after image. I do have a bit of overshoot on light/dark vertical transitions, but this didn't go away with the attenuation and I mostly attribute it to non-optimal alignment. Thanks!
