Vertical wave "interferende" lines on Hauppage PVR500 ??

[HomerDK]

Got everything to work, except that I have these wave vertical lines that come and goes, like some interference.
Those lines are also when I choose the external source from composite input, so it cannot be the signal from antenna.

Someone suggested to try some other drivers, but i can only find the new drivers from may 2. Someone know a link for some other drivers?

Or could it be some interference from inside the pc?

Is this on the monitor or tv/2nd monitor. What else do you have connected to the computer. Antenna-amp? Cables? Try to keep the antenna cables away from the electricity cables.Any other devices in the house that might cause this. microwave/refrigerator/whatever. You could try connecting the system to earth/mass (I don't know how you name that in english).

I've always had problems with my 500 similar to this. I see diagonal lines that travel across the screen. They're more noticeable in dark scenes.

I'm 99.9% certain they are caused by interference from my chassis cooling fans. I also have another issue with one of my tri-speed fans where, if I switch it to mid-speed, the picture and sound on recordings break up. It's fine set to low or high speed.

Sorry - not much help I'm afraid, but it does seem the 500 is susceptible to RFI.

Cheers,

Ok
This is on the monitor (no tv or other attached).
Card is attached on the lowest PCI and above it there is a USB Pci card (for 4 usb).
Could try to turn off some fans, but they are on the top part of the chassis.

But this is also when using composite input.
At the moment I only have composite from the satellite and the normal antennacable is not attached at all.

Could it be the Software Mpeg2 playback Video Decoder? Im using "Cyberlink SP Decoder PDVD7).

Edit: turned the fans off but still waves... hmmm

You could try connecting the system to earth/mass (I don't know how you name that in english).

This could be "ground" right?
