Hi,

i have just hooked up my media centre to my tv and watching tv through the pc it gives out a crap reception and the sound keeps jumping in and out, how do i get a better quality picture and sound.

the pc is hooked up to the tv via a VGA cable.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Can you provide a little more technical description of the video quality problem other than "crap"?

What is the video source you are trying to watch (Saved video file on hard drive, DVD, Streaming video from a web site, Off the air through a tuner card in the computer)?

off the air with the tuner card, it cant be the arial cause when i plug it into just my tv, i get perfect reception, but when i plug it into the pc its just all crackily and cant seem clear the picture up at all!!

oh sorry the type of tuner card i have is a DTV tuner + FM radio PV-CX881P Prolink card

If you are physically disconnecting the cable from the back of the TV and moving the connection to the tuner card, problem may be with the tuner card not being as good as the tuner in you TV. Does the tuner software give you the option of selecting cable or broadcast channel usage and is it set to broadcast.

EDIT: Just saw your update. Is the picture snowy or does it look like it is freezing and/or breaking up into blocks of pixels.

EDIT: I just checked on the PV-CX881P model number in your last post. It does not have any kind of tuner. http://www.prolink-usa.com/
