Everything went fine except for two things:

1) The image I get from all channels is horrible (looks like the negative of a picture). I tried changing the resolutions, but that didn't solve the problem.
2) MyIRC is not always responsive. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I tried unplugging my wireless keyboard (logitech Gyration) to see if there was a compatibility problem, but that didn't help either.

I am using an Athlon system with an MSI motherboard (with the latest updates) and a GeForce 6800 card.

I used the MyHD 120 for a while in the past and everything worked fine.

Any suggestion?

Cliff,

Before I call for a RMA, I want to make sure the dvi card is correctly installed. I noticed that the pins didn't go all the way through the MyHD 130. I was extra careful because I know those pins are delicate and I could damage the card if they were bent or broken, but maybe I was too careful and the DVI card is not correctly mounted. On the other hand, should the dvi card not be properly mounted I wouldn't get a perfect pass through signal (as I do now).

Another thing: I don't get any image at all when using the channels preview (small screen). I do get the image (although with heavy color distortion) when I click on HD (Full screen).

What do you think?

Thanks, Cliff. I love MyHD cards because of the excellent support they get through this forum.

That page is a little misleading. It says ATX power supply and then later says the power supply is proprietary.

1. The quality isn't as good as my WinFast TV 2000 Deluxe.
2. No WDM drivers. (which means no WME)
3. Can't record on the fly with space-saving formats.

This happens on all my DVDs (they are just regular store-bought DVDs)

I can play the DVDs using PowerDVD but with MyHD installed I cannot drag the DVD window to the "big screen" (I am set up for Dual Monitor) so I would really like to use MyHD for DVDs

My Hardware is:
Windows XP Pro
ASUS P4S800-MX mother board
Celeron 2.8GHz processor
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card
16x DVD drive

Its all fairly new hardware. I did a clean install of Windows. I really need to have this working by 6/30 or I will be in trouble with my family.

Thanks for the help

Actually you could get an image with pass thru, because the pins are the connection for the MyHD decoder and some control bits.

The pins on the DVI card should be flush with the black plastic stops in the pin header of the DVI card.

If you are not getting any image on the overlay window it could also be a problem with the main card.

After properly mounting the daughter DVI card (I had to press really hard) I finally solved part of the problems: I do get HD image full screen, but now the image in the small preview screen looks horrible (same as full screen before: very distorted colors). Besides I get a 3" black bar on the left. I tried changing the resolution but can't get the image centered. I am using a 37" Sharp Aquos (LC-37G4U). The panel's native pixel resolution is Wide XGA (1,366-by-768), meaning it scales 720p or 1080i HDTV content to the native resolution. I tried selecting 1,360 by 768 in MyHD, but I still get the 3" black bar on the left.
