Re: Boosting the TV Tuner Quality of your video card?
Do you mean the picture playing live TV or a recording?
Also do you play the video on your PC monitor or on an external monitor or TV through the TV-out port on the video card? also what is the input signal, antenna or cable or something else? |

In what way is the quality lacking? Is it static or choppy- picture or audio or pausing or stopping or weak or overstaturated colors?
That seems like a quality tuner card so it should be possible to get a good video results. |

Re: Boosting the TV Tuner Quality of your video card?
Ok, I mean it's just bit fuzzy & grainy....so I think I am just expecting crystal clear picture. Should it be a less quality than I am getting from the same feed(different jack, no split) on a real TV?

Re: Boosting the TV Tuner Quality of your video card?
It could be your video card that is causing the low quality picture. The video card should be able to do its own rendering of the signal, if it doesn't it will off-load the rendering to the CPU and it does what is called "overlay". This is a sofware based solution rather than a hardware based.
Some suggested video cards for good quality video are directx9 compatible and are listed here: quality Video cards for Viewing TV what kind do you have ? IF yours is not on the list and you can switch yours with a quality card temporarily to see the results idea before purchasing it might be a good idea. |

Re: Boosting the TV Tuner Quality of your video card?
I guess I'm not sure about this. I think your TV-Tuner is built into your Video card right?
With mine the TV-Tuner is a seperate PCI card and I have an AGP video card so the V card can be of varying quality. But thats not the case with yours right? But if you have a HDTV cable signal you have to get an HDTV compatible tuner card. I dont think the 9600XT is HDTV. |
