Hi csy, sub,

Things are better now. I took your suggestions (from several places), like:

If you using an antenna with the ATI 550, make sure it is plugged into the cable/antenna socket (not FM socket) and ensure the gbpvr source config is set to antenna, as this appears to add a RF pre-amp within the ATI card and improves picture quality significantly (compared to cable setting).

This helped a bit, so I bought one of those nice 5MHz-1000MHz 3-way splitters, and I have about 20 meters of the highest grade cable, so I made me a great cable. It comes out of the wall into a 2-way splitter (simple). One end goes to the Cable company's set-top-box, and the other side is the good cable that goes about 2 meters and into the 3-way splitter. Two of the 3-way's OUT ends are connected with very short cables (same type) into the capture cards.
The result is excellent picture quality, but the 550's sound is awful. I checked the encoding parameters and they appear to be the same for both cards for video, but the 550's audio is set for 224 Kbps and the 350's audio was set to 320 Kbps.

Is there any way I can attach a sample file?

I had a thought - the 2 cards are in adjacent PCI slots. Is it possible the 350 is disturbing the 550's audio but not the video?
I don't want to move the cards, because there are only 2 more slots available, one is adjacent to the nVidia Video card and one is the last PCI (orange) on my MSI mobo.

Thanks,
