[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1020540, member: 82144"] Okay. So, in my previous post I gave 5 reasons as to why RF connections are not ideal. Even if the TV and PC receive their feeds from the same spllit, the last three points still apply and there are almost certainly differences between the TV and PC in relation to those last three points. In other words: 1. There are reasonable explanations of why the PC feed may appear worse than the TV feed. 2. I don't think it is always reasonable to expect equivalent quality from the TV and the PC. Yes, I understand that... but the card does have other inputs doesn't it? I did some googling which suggested there is a combined s-video/composite input. Is that true, and if so have you been able to try any alternatives? Another interesting test would be to remove the RF splitter and see if not having the TV connected makes any difference for the PC (and vice-versa). This is true, however there also exist products that can strip that encryption. For example: [url]http://www.hdfury.com[/url] Colossus cards are not cheap, and nor are the encryption stripping devices that I'm aware of. Quite honestly I would understand and sympathise if you were to say you want the best you can get with your existing gear and that you expected a better result... but in my opinion you're on a hiding to nothing. You're talking about a GPU here right (ie. not a capture/TV card)? If so, have a look around over here: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/forums/video-cards.334/[/url] [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/forums/general.62/[/url] forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/htpc-upgrade-intel-or-amd-which-way-to-go.120973/ If you don't find an answer then I suggest to start a new thread in the hardware section. Be sure to specify your requirements so people can give advice to suit your needs. Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
