Steve,

Could you be a bit more specific about the quality improvements you are
noticing?  I find that the MX400 composite out is *very* blurry.  I would
like to (if possible) get text appearing more clearly, and have the output
of xawtv at full-screen look a bit more comparable to my TV with cable
plugged directly into it.  From there, I can tweak my mythTV settings to try
and stay as close to the original as possible.

Thanks,
Chris

  Well, I got mine from from Buy.com and tried it out.  It has better
display quality than the TV-out on my ATI Mach 64 card.  I like it.  Thanks
for the tip on the Web Cable Plus.

      but it looks like the price has gone up

        Mind saying where you paid $68?  All I'm seeing is $85+

        Thanks, Bob
