I've pretty much followed jarods guide to the letter including setting screen refresh for my tv.  Thought that was it, but not the case.  I thought the tv picture from the pc would look as good as the cable hook up to the tv itself.  Can someone help me with this?  Right now I'm looking at the video problem from xawtv.  it looks thae same in myth though.  PIII 866, 512, 128 nvidia geforce fx 5200, avermedia pci 350, sound blaster live
