My Setup

wintv pvr-350
Asus MOBO <p4s533-mx SiS chipset>
ATI Video Card <9200se AGP>
3.0 GHZ P4
768 Mgs Ram
400GB Hard Drive <7200.10>

My Issues

1) TV out on the video card <ati> is VERRRY BAD. Th image on a 32 inch tv is blurry. i mean blurr to the point that i cant read anything.

2)TV out on the pvr350 is perfect, except after about 60 secs it totally locks up the pc. Locks it up to the point where i need to reboot the whole computer.

Any help would be greattly apreciated. I am new here but not a newbie with the computers. to those of you that will say "your card is bad" we actually purchased 2 and put them inidentical hardware pc's and they both have the same problem.:confused:

Possible for a picture of the ati output?

When my TV-out was blurry I found all I had todo was drop the res (in my case to 800x600) and all was ok.

i have lowered it down to 800/600 and still same. i will try and get pics but its tvout so i dont know if that is even possible.

In reality i would have rather used tvout from my 350, but i cant get it to work for more then 30 secs without freezing

This is a well known problem with the PVR350's tv out, and the main reason I dropped support for it. The only thing that tends to have helped people with this problem, was replacing the PC motherboard for one using a different chipset.
