I've used one for 4 years now. The quality is perfect. My 1st gen tv has WAY too much overscan for 1080i modeline, but PCHDTV looks absolutley fantastic even on a 480p modeline. I wouldnt hesitate on quality. In fact, I kind of like the idea of having this separate box to transcode because it IS separate from the video card. If your video card dies, you can replace it with a cheap one, whereas if you go with component out on a videocard and that dies you have to buy another more expensive video card.

I'm looking to output 1080i, and I've read a lot of<br>posts about using an Audio Authority 9A60 to convert<br>VGA to component. I understand that I will still need<br>to compute a proper modeline, but I haven't seen any
<br>posts about the actual quality of the output when<br>using VGA -> 9A60.<br><br>For anyone who is currently using this method for<br>1080i...how does it look? Does it still look great,<br>despite conversion? Does it look identical, close, or
<br>nowhere near the quality of your original HD cable<br>signal coming out of the DVI/HDMI of the cable set top<br>box and going to the DVI/HDMI input of the TV. How<br>would you rate it overall? Good? Great? Excellent?
<br><br>I'm willing to spend the $120, but not if the output<br>is poor quality.<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org
