[QUOTE="BigBuddha, post: 34556, member: 14670"] Hi Jawbroken, Yeah you are right (at least from me) when I said component I meant composite (the single cable that carries Video Signal and has a male RCA plug on both ends) Sorry about the mixup, I am always getting the two confused!! My HTPC connects from my video card to my HDTV via RGB or VGA if you like. Connects in the same was as a PC connects to a normal monitor. What I meant before was that when I ran composite signal from my STB into a Software Encoding card (namely a V-STREAM XPERT PCI 100) and from there RGB to the HDTV via way of the Video Card (ATI X800 PRO 256 MB) I actually get better PQ than taking the same composite signal and running into the PVR150MCE with it (same connection from the HTPC to the HDTV). The V-Stream does add some noise to the picture but straight away you can see that this configuration is as good PQ as using composite straight from the cable STB into the HDTV. The whole gist of which is to say that I am getting crap PQ with my cable channels from the PVR150MCE :shock: [/QUOTE]
