Alright, I recently installed the TV tuner indicated above. I knew the WinTV software that came with it is complete crap, so I went with MP. I meet all the requirements and completed all the prerequisites (software and such). I get an analog cable connection with over-the-air HD from CableOne. I do get a signal and all my channels, but the quality is extremely grainy on all channels. I'm not sure whether the problem lies in the tuner card, my video card, or the codecs. Any help?
