frequency + strength

[techno_1]

hey.

I hate my cable company.

anologue cable I have. captured pretty good stuff, broken the DIVX world record 7-8 times cause of the stuff I done.

for some reason, the quality is now poor when even watching the TV on the PC. nothing's changed! Got 4 OS's installed on my machine with 2 HDD's and I got 2 more.

the PC shows CLEAR picture but you can see lines moving horizontally, not interlacing problem!

you can see them moving fast.

before this, quality was ace and now, it is holding me back, ALOT.

on the TV, it is clear but you can notice it at night.

on the PC, it would obviously pick it more clearer.

now, how do I get rid of the lines?

what h/w do I need? I don't know if it is a high signal/low signal or something else.

I contacted the company but talk rubbish, "upgrade to digital"

any ideas? please help!

n e 1?

first of all it DOES sound like your cable companie has started a new interlacing sceme for some reason.

I do reccomend not to upgrade to digital as your captures will look bad because the signal would have alreaady been encoded.

C if a friend has the same problem at his house. perhaps its a fault of yours.

I just relised you said you use analouge cable and I forgot that the lines are simply bad reception! You either have a bad connection or your cable companie have gave a new subscription to one of your neighbours and has lost signal strength.

hmmm.....

I know, I wouldn't upgrade to digital anyway cause the frequency is too high for my captures and system.


It's not a bad reception I don't think.

What can I do to improve it? another piece of electronic hardware?

I really need this.

it's not interlacing! DEFENETLY NOT!!!

Even if the cable company has encoded their signals, I can decode them easily....but away from that...


How can I improve the quality?

If its random lines across the screen in long thin strips then it is a reception problem.

Or a power/grounding problem
