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

["big_red_frog" <anthony.tod@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have pretty bad interference problems.

The picture has a wavy grain to it, and the sound is mono, and
glitchy.

I am taking a feed direct from my sky+ box.

I have patched the feed I use to my TV to check and that also looks
bad, although it is fine on my TV.

So the questions are...

1. Does my TV have better tuning / amplification, and would a local
signal boost before the AIW help.

2. Is it machine interferance due to shody shielding on the AIW

3. Is it just fine tuning I have an issue with, and if so, where the
hell is the fine tune adjustment on the software!

I have checked that I am handling the image as PAL-I
