I'm using a WinTV PVR-350 card, and trying to display onto my generic 19" PC monitor (attached via an analog VGA video port). I can get some data with a test capture if I set 'ivtvctl -p4', but not all channels. The video is fuzzy, and the audio is low - this is reminiscent of the old days of using TV attenna to get signal, and not really having much of a reception.<BR> <BR> I can use ivtv-tune to change channels, and I can get some of the cable-only channels, so I know that I'm getting signal through my cable. I also viewed the test capture on a XP box, and it also gives me the same lousy playback quality. On that same XP box, I have a WinTV PVR-150. Watching TV or recorded shows on that box is fine, and the 2 cables go through a common splitter.<BR> <BR> I don't know if this matters, but I tried using the "MythTV setup" gui, and I have no idea if I did everything correctly. FWIW, I live in central New Jersey, and my cable service provider is Comcast. Also, my mythtv-suite rpm version is 0.19-57.at from ATrpms.<BR> <BR> Please help. I would hate to have to yank out that card and put it into my XP box.<BR> <BR></FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV><DIV>I used to live in Jersey, my decision was to "yank out" Comcast.
