any way to upconvert my PC TV tuner signal

[robphelan]

so i get a better picture on my 17"LCD monitor?

I'm running dual monitors (2405fpw & some dell 17"LCD) and I'd like to get a better picture from my ATI 550 pro which has regular analog cable TV fed to it.

thanks,
robert.

I don't think there is any way.

I don't think that TV tuner can accept anything over 720x480 and I don't know of any software that can upscale on the fly.

You cannot magically compute data that haven't been there before. Regular analog cable is 480 lines interlaced for NTSC (576 for PAL), with horizontal bandwidth for about 360 sharp pixels. TV cards will typically scan that signal at 720 (blurred) pixels - and that's all there is, folks. Post-processing can involve no more than deinterlacers and scalers - it cannot make more pixels appear out of thin air.
