Blackmagic Intensity card and 24f footage?

For reference, in case anyone encounters this problem.
I have gotten this to work - using the BMD Intensity Pro to output 1080 24p HDV footage however there is something weird that I have to do.

When starting up FCP, I have to choose View->Video Playback ->720p 59.94 FIRST and play the sequence. This seems to let the system sync up with the monitor. Then I switch to 1080i 59.94 and it works just dandy. For whatever reason, if I choose 1080 first, it doesn't work.

Nate, I was just wondering if you could give any feed back on the performance of your setup now. How smooth is the playback on your hdtv and what format video are you editing and any effects etc?
