I've been using my AIW for years without problems. I just went in to edit the last few month's of "south park" that I captured and found the video quality was bad, it was way to bright and washed out.

I spent yesterday trying to fix this with no success. I'm beginning to wonder if Adelphia Cable isn't somehow responsible.

Many of the stations are too bright and washed out and most others seem to have a "macrovision" effect where they go dim/bright every 8 seconds. This does not affect my TV's but only the PC. If I pipe it to the ATI card via a VCR's composite output there is no problem. Coax to PC=Problem.

I should note that the bright/dim problems are in all versions of MMC that I tried 8.9-9.3 and also when I try to capture via VirtualDub. The problem presents in the actual TV viewing as well as the captures.

Any Ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!!
