Re: Re: All in Wonder tuner (was: TFT monitor as TV)

["Paul Robinson" <ukcueman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When it was working, the quality was good. Although my aerial/reception
isn't perfect - so
I may have lower standards than you. I had it running on my 37" Sharp
LCD monitor,
although the intention is to use it permanently on a 15" LCD. I was
very happy with it
until this problem showed itself.

Is your quality not good then?

Thanks for the description - I'll give it a go.

Paul
