    My new PC came with a radeon TV Tuner and I was wondering why the picture wasn't so clear when viewed full screen? I have our satelite hooked up to it via a coaxial cable as of now. I wasn't sure if there would be much difference using an S-Video cable or not. Does anyone using it have a clear picture like on your TV? I am using a 19" lcd monitor with 8ms response time.

    sounds like a bad connection from the sat box, shouldnt be any different than normal. I dont have experience w/ that tuner card so maybe others could chime in regarding the quality of that card.

    Well, I am getting an Svideo cable to try that. I heard there was noticeably difference in the 2. Thanks.

    S-Video will be better. Coax method remodulates to Ch3-4 at the satt box forcing the signal to go through the ATI tuner. S-Video bypasses both.

    Next level of issues come from watching interlace video on a upscaled progressive display.
