Leadtek Winfast TV2000XP Deluxe tuner NTSC
Svideo TV output to Sony 27" Trinitron TV
The TV card is a VL4 software based card so quality isn't that great and recording size is large at 4GB an hour. Channels 2-6 are poorer quality than other channels with lines moving though picture. I switched connectors and cable same results. I plan to move the TV card as far away from video card and PS as possible as they may be interfering with signal. I have also messed with using MPEG4 recording profiles to reduce the recording to 1GB an hour.
