Is it possible to increase the quality?

I've got an Allin wonder Radeon 9800 connected to my satelilite receiver...but am surprised how grainy the picture looks. Is there anyway to improve the quality of the picture and/ or the capture?

Thanks!

How is it connected? If you're using coaxial cable and the channel 3 or 4 input, that's your problem. I'd recommend using and S-Video connection if your receiver supports it, or if not, RCA cables will do fine.

I have the same PROBLEM of grainy Picture Quality...

However I'm using an AVERMEDIA MediaCenter PCI 500 TV tuner card....

My setup is as follows:

The CABLE comes from my wall, hooked it to a spliter, then one coax cable goes to my cable modem and one coax cable to my AVERMEDIA Card.

What factors should I trouble shoot to fix the Grainy Picture Quality?

Thanks

I ended up running an S Video cable from my Sattelite receiver to teh card, and everything was honky dory. Good luck!!
