<div> </div>
<div>I read up some more and I found that increasing the resolution from 480 x 576 (PAL) to 720 x 576 can improve the picture. I tried that last night and it did improve it but not quite to where i would expect the composite input to be.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now that I have improved the resolution I will go change to the Pixelview card and try the S-Video input (once I get an S-Video cable).<br></div>
