Hi All,
I've been reading here for a while now, and these forums have helped me solve many of the issues that have popped up with the HTPC I'm building. I'm stuck on this blurring / trails / ghost issue. I have done a bunch of searching on this issue, but to no avail. Below is a list of the components in my rig. The components marked with an asterisk are the components I reused from my old rig.
Now, to the heart of the issue. I'm recording standard definition tv (cable). The cable run directly to my tv does not have these trails (live tv). Recorded tv and live tv through the VMC have the trails. The videos that VMC give for calibrating the tv also do not have the trails, so I have to conclude that the problem lies with my tuner card. The strange thing is that before I switched from my ATI x850 (using inbox drivers, no CCC {Catalyst Control Center?} installed) to the Asus EAH4850 (I installed the drivers from the CD, so CCC is now on my PC), I didn't notice this issue.
I've read somewhere on these forums that there is some sort of conflict between the Avermedia m780 and CCC, but this was just in passing and had no solution. I'm tempted to uninstall CCC and do an INF install of the drivers to see if it will help, but I'd rather have CCC working on my PC. Can someone, please, help me?
