I just installed an Asus TV Tuner in my machine this afternoon. Picture quality seems adequate, however I have a few video artifacts that pop up every second or so. It only appears to affect one frame. Sometimes it looks as if the image is shifted slightly, or there is a large chunk of the video that is scrambled. It does this on every channel. I have not yet tried it with the RCA or Svideo inputs. I have a feeling it could be arguing with my sblive, but the audio is fine. Relevant system specs:

Tbird 1.1 @ 1.2(133) on KT7a-raid (686B southbridge)
32 meg GF2 GTS
Sblive 5.1
WinXP Pro SP1, DX9

Yeah, since you have a KT7A-RAID and Live! 5.1 it probably is a PCI bandwith/latency problem, especially if you have an nVidia graphics card.

Have you tried it with the latest VIA, sound card, and video card drivers? Do you have the latest BIOS update for your motherboard?

Have you tried it with George's PCI latency patch?

Have you tried it with DirectX 8.1?

If you have an nVidia card, you could look up how to adjust the latency.

George Breese = man of genius.

Thanks for the link, QuantumFlux. I've been waiting for a fix like this for nearly 2 years.
