[QUOTE="jonm, post: 724423, member: 87159"] Yes, I mean live TV, from satellite. I guess I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'd never describe the PQ as "crap" - it's certainly (subjectively) better than my S*y HD box, and that's good for me. And yes the tuner card drivers and codec are indeed all important, but the point for me was that the previous Intel on-board GPU I was using wasn't quite grunty enough to play HDTV properly in MP - the one I have now (Core i3) is. (NB I had issues the one time I tried an nvidia card, in that it sent my TV's power-saving feature crazy so the picture was dimming and un-dimming every few seconds - so it was no good for me. Never tried ATI, admittedly.) [/QUOTE]
