To my knowledge there isn't a utility that gives the analog signal strength. You need a rather expensive tester to check it. Thankfully I had written down what the signal strength was on each of the cable jacks in my house when Comcast checked them after I signed up for cable service. I had...

Sounds like you may have had some different issues than I did. If you want to try messing around with the HVR-1800 again you may want to look at the signal strength. I've found that my card seems to be very sensitive to a signal that is either too weak or too strong. I actually had to put a 3dB...

I think you may have misinterpreted my post a little bit. You are correct that the monitor plays no role in the de-interlacing process, but that wasn't the reason I asked if the OP was using a CRT. A CRT monitor does not need the source to be deinterlaced so an interlaced video will look...
