Hi all, I have a Zoltrix TV-MAX tuner card, based on bt848. This works perfectly in linux, always has since I got the card. The image is not great, but then, I accepted that the card probably isn't the highest quality (my mostly bad experiences with zoltrix modems certainly helped in reaching this conclusion). It's nicely viewable, but not perticularly sharp or crisp. A bit like watching a video that's been played too many times over and over. The other night I tried it out the TV app in BeOS 5 Personal Edition, and was blown away by the quality of image - it's as good as the best TVs out there! Exactly the same hardware. I don't know precisely how to pinpoint the exact cause of the quality loss in linux. I did try various tv apps - xawtv, motv, kwintv - and all looked the same, so I guess it must be something (a setting hopefully) in the bttv driver or video4linux somewhere. So my question: are there ways to improve image quality for TV cards? The graphics card is a Radeon 7500. I'm using the AV out from my VCR, as it looks better than using the card's own tuner. Thanks Hans
