You could be right.

But I read his complete as saying he *just* got the Matrox card working, so 
I inferred that he had *not* used the Matrox and the WinTV card together 
... so which change caused the quality deterioiration he observed was 
uncertain.

Also, I've learned the hard way that when one says the "same" setup, he 
might be omitting changes that are "obviously" irrelevant (like using a 
different cable to connect to the signal source, or adding a splitter into 
the coax hookup), but that in reality can have an effect on cap quality (by 
introducing a ground failure or by reducing the source-signal strength 
below a critical threshold).

Hence, my questions exploring those possibilities.
