[mythtv-users] Question regarding capture cards

[Chris Rutledge]

I've had the same cable right into the set-top-box, and it looked great. So
the signal if fine. I've just upgrade kernel/drivers seems to be a little
better. I'll have to do more testing to be sure. Yes, SciFi is one that must
be clear, but with the 0.6.x series drivers it was really bad.
