[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 59206, member: 11550"] Hi chili, Depends on how you want to go about it. If you still want to use the satellite box, then you should try to work out where the picture is being degraded. If you plug the S-Video straight into your tv, is the picture still bad? If so, the the cable could be at fault. If you watch the tv on your computer screen is the picture bad? If so, then the problem is probably with your pvr 150. Like I said, an HDTV card will not mean better Aux input quality. I have a compro HDTV card and the Aux in is awful, because it's a software card. I think you need to find out from others who use the Aux in on their pvr 150's to see if they are all bad, or could yours have a bad connection or something. [USER=14004]gxtracker[/USER] I never implied for SDTV that the difference with better cables would be enormous, I actually even said You should always use the best cables you have access to. There will be no loss of quality with Component, DVI or VGA due to downsampling. at somewhere along the line the digital signal has to be converted to a PAL or NTSC. You'll get better results (in the case of DVI) if this happens right inside the TV because 1) there is less chance of interference and 2) most gfx cards focus more on game speed than TV output whereas a TV will usually have better circuitry for this (if it was expensive enough to have DVI inputs). The same goes for VGA and Component, apart from the digital bit of course. You should be trying to get the signal to your TV in the best way possible and the bit I was disagreeing with you on was where you said that S-video wuld give better quality that better systems when using SDTV.
