Re: Video quality of MCE with Hauppauge 150's

[Mal Lansell <mal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Black Golds cards are digital tuners, right?  The Hauppauge 150 is
analog, which might explain the crappy picture (although not completely,
since my TV has a perfectly sharp picture).

Do you know if they keep everything digital - I've heard rumors that
some freeview cards are basically a digital tuner bolted onto a normal
analog capture card.

Cheers

Mal
