Video nquality poor with TV tuner

Hi Guys,

I have a Dell Inspirion 6000 Laptop.
My concern is when I use a Techcom 813 external TV Tuner card & connect a local cable
service. The program / video quality is Grainy and not as clear as a normal TV.
Is there a solution of this ?
Normal Videos & VCD's from hardisk/Optical drive play properely on my system
Any help / advise / tips much appriciated

( Techcom uses Honest TV software)

Cheers

poor tv tuner card u went for man...one of my friends has the same prob with the same card

Hi

Sorry didnt have internet acesses for sometime hence couldnt revert back sooner.

well my budget was 2000 INR and I guess techcom 813 was the best I could find in the range..... true there were better quality TV Tuners however they cost near to the Rs 5000/- range ....I didnt want to invest in that category since in that case I can get a 21 inch TV - if you get my point

Cheers

u would have bought a mercury tv tuner card for more cheaper

i bought 1 mercury tv tuner for 1300 3 years back

still working great

well had only two choice between Techcom & Umax .... Went for techcom which had a better review on the net

Well if I am rationale I think the poor quality is more due to poor cable connection & absense of any serious vedio card on my Inspirion 6000 - also I presume there would be some diffrence between the picture quality on TV & Laptop
