(that's a shot-in-the-dark ;-) They are one pci slot away from each other (The BT card is in slot 2, the SB Live Value is in slot 4). Between them is a tiny crappy Realtek NIC. > |If I run an svideo cable off of the cablebox to the tuner card I get a > |clear picture on all of the channels. > > And clear audio? The audio is run over seperate RCA cables from the Tuner box directly into the soundcard in that configuration. The sound is clear with that setup. I've got some screenshots of the distortion if it is of any help: There are 5 seperate shots here. They are all fairly large unfortunatly. http://dwagner.yi.org/~jandrese/fxtvproblems/ (Boy, there seem to be a lot of Fxtv problems recently, are cable companies doing strange things these days?) -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
