Another card i heard about is the MDP-120 MyHD PCI TV Tuner. Have you heard of it? Some of the cards that i research seem to indicated that they display and record "over the air" hdtv only. Does that make sense? It would seem pretty useless to have a hd card that could not display cable or...

thanks again. for some reason i have tried running it through the svideo and i do not get an image at all. i also tried different coax cablee with no change. maybe the card is bad?? As far adjusting the frequency of the card i will call gateway and see if that is possible. if i have to replace...

thanks chuck. i do have 2 separate cards. Vince: i have not tried to output to another display but when i use the tv as computer monitor like when i am typing this post. it looks great. i play dvd's in the disk drive built in the computer and that looks fantastic. i am connecting to the dish...

so would you suspect the video card over the tuner card. is there anyway to know for sure rathar than just start replacing parts?

Thanks for your response! I have a 42" zenith plasma screen (ed) I am running from a standard def dish pro setup box via coax. My dvd's look great. The display when connected to the setup box is more than acceptable. it's only when it is sent thru the computer and then to the monitor it gets the...

Newbie question: what exactly is discreet resolution and when should i tweek it in powerstrip? my plasma looks terrible when it is fed via my tuner card and i am trying to figure out where the problem is? thanks for your help in advance.

well i tried powerstirp and created a custom resolution but all that occurred was it change my screen size ...........like it adjusted the aspect control but it did not clear up my display. i have diagonal lins rolling from the top down while i am watching tv. you really see them when the screen...

thanks for the info...i will check out powerstrip

My display has dvi,component,vga,coax and s video. I just wondered if it improved the display enough to spend the extra dough. Things like video card specs are over my head. I am beginning to pick some of it up. Like right now i have my setup box running to my tuner card to the monitor and the...

hey i like the mad cow line. i showed it to my wife and it was a real hit! that myhd card sounds exactly what i need. it has a daughter card with dvi. is there any reason to use that? it has component in and out on the main card. the way i understand it you can carry an hd signal on component...

thanks for the info!

thanks for your response. what might be some of the drawbacks to having a tuner card without MPEG conversion?

Thanks! I will give it a try and see what happens. It is good to know that I can use pci. That greatly expands the cards that are available to me to use.

thanks for your response. i am very green in these matters however let me ask a few questions and i know i can find my way thru. native resolution and refresh for the plasma? so i go to my tv's docs and find out the specs then right click the desk top and go to settings and set the resolution? i...

Am i wasting my time or not. I recently bought a Gateway 820gm pc with an Ati x300 video card. to put it simply the display sucks when I send my satellite signal to my 42" plasma screen. (looks great when the sat box is connected directly to the plama)Is it possible to run the sat signal thru my...

I am frustrated. It seems that any time I try run a cable or satellite signal thru a computer I end up with a poor signal. I currently have an x300 radeon tuner video card in a gateway 820gm media center computer. when i run the coax direct to my 42" plasma screen it looks great. when i run it...
