I'm new to building my HTPC here the last couple of months. It started with building a video box to hold my
DVD collection as MPEG4 and turned into adding a tuner card recently for a better DVR experience than I was
getting from my local cable company. My htpc specs are listed below
Sempron 2.1GHz
2GB Ram
1 Terabyte HDD space (2x 500gb hdd's and a 40gb hdd for OS install)
LiteOn DL DVD burner
Vista w/MCE
Radeon HD2400 (DVI to HDMI)
Avermedia M780 combo card (ATSC/NTSC)
LG 32" LCD HDTV 720p
I get great results with OTA HD and digital channels, but the analog channels we get from our cable provider look
like theres to much noise reduction and ghosting. I did reduce the noise reduction issue by making sure it was
disabled on my tv. The problem I can't figure out is the ghosting on analog statons, the digital/HD stations look
beautiful. If anyone has any experience with this card or had advice on how I can fine tune/eliminate this please
help me.
Also would I get better results with SageTV or GBPVR with this card or is MCE fine enough?
Thanks
