| 162633 | 2003-07-24 21:50:00 | As you can see, I just got a Leadtek TV2000XP Deluxe and have to say it is one of the coolest things I have bought for a long time. Love it. BUT in saying that, I am getting very angery with the software supplied. There is nothing wrong with the signal from our syk decoder (where our TV atenna run through to get normal TV) signal but in the software, in the Config. section, when I click on "Scan Channels" it searches (and get channels 1~4) it close the TV program, freezes and then quits to the FM program and wont play the FM channels. I am sure this is a bug BUT I have downloaded the lastest version of the software but it still does the same thing. Has any one had this problem? If so, how did you fix it. Thanks James P.S: In the kitchen (which is running off the same TV signal) Channel 2 is perfect and channel 3 has pretty bad reseption. BUT on my ocmputer, it is the other way around. TV 3 looks beautiful and TV 2 has ghosting and a little crackeling on the sound side. I have wired the coaxlian cable fine but still get the same result. |

| 162635 | 2003-07-25 07:07:00 | James The difference in signal quality between the TV and your computer suggests a signal distribution problem. To check, temporarily move the TV to the same location as the computer and see if the signal quality on Chs 2 & 3 goes with it or if the TV displays the same problem as the computer. If the signal quality is poor, it can affect the ability of the TV card to seek and lock onto the TV channels. If it finds no more viable TV signals it may well jump to FM. These are just educated guesses based on 40-odd years of experience with radio frequency signal issues as I have never played with a computer TV card, but I always start with first principles. In this case, first get clean signals to your card, (as checked with your TV) then try tuning. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 162637 | 2003-07-29 22:04:00 | Yeah, having a wee bit of trouble with TV reception too. FM radio works really well, and so does the Maori TV channel! What are you using in the 'capture format profile' setting? Mpeg2 optimal is the best I can get. Are there other options? |

Are there other > options? For best capture quality you need to capture in a lossless codec,then convert down into whatever format you want your file to be in. the Huffyuv codec is the best for top quality capturing,although it takes a bit of grunt and makes a larger file you end up with a far superior video. Then you can compress the file down to mpeg to get a smaller file with quality still far superior then if you captured directly to mpg. |
