Tata Sky + WinTV = Grainy reception?

6 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/tata-sky-wintv-grainy-reception.95049/

My friend has a Tata Sky subscription for over a year which has very good reception when connected to TV directly. However, when connected to a computer (Hauppage USB TV Tuner + Win TV Software), he gets lots of grains with the video. Is the TV Tuner at fault or does Tata Sky have any kind of incompatibility with TV tuner cards?

I did see that post, but this problem is different. The same card gives good reception on my normal cable connection. I checked it with my cable connection and is as good as I get on TV.

If you are using component connections then capture in VirtualDub. You should get a better performance.

I captured from Tatasky on a (rotten)PixelVeiw card and still it was quite clear.

i have the hauppauge win TV pvr PCI 2 card.it scans cable all right.all channels are scanned.the picture quality is better on computer than it is on TV.my comp is HP pavilion media media center.

Going to try DScaler tonight. Hope this one works.
