Hello,
My HTPC has been finished, and MediaPortal was installed. But there was no Picture seen from my Haupauge PVR250. With his own software, all was fine. So, I asked in the HTPC-Forum and they told me, my Matrox P650 is incompatible with MP. So I sold it and now I want to by a new Card. The important thing for the first time ist the TV-Out of the card, because the HTPC is only installed on a TV. I must have sharp picture quality for using internet and so one. The next thing is, that there must be a funktion at the driver, where I can adjust the picture to the TV. I must have full screen picture on the TV. The card must run under 720x576 (TV) and 1280x720 (LCD). The LCD will installed later.
Can you help me for that problem?
Does somebody know the Volari V8?

Thank you for your help!

Image quality :
Like most cards, both the Volari V8 and the Deltachrome S8 support dual display and feature TV-out in standard. Also, both are able to display HDTV 1080p images for the best TV pictures possible. 2D image quality wass exceptionally good on both cards, as is video overlay and multi-display capabilities.
That said, the Volari V8 TV-Out seemed far better than the one used in the Deltachrome S8. Texts were surprisingly clear and sharp using the V8's TV-Out. The V8 natively supports HDTV output as the TV-Out is able to output in HDTV resolutions.
Solid budget gaming card
