They have bootable LiveCD's that you can try, but they'll only work if you have supported video hardware.

Specs:
Athlon 1800+
512mb ram
200gb HDD
pvr-150
tnt2 ultra video card (hooked up to TV via VGA cable)

Any advice?

Have you compared the results to any online reviews of the PVR-150? None of the cards will look as well as regular TV since the image you are seeing is compressed, but it should look decent enough.

I am actually going to approach it from the other side. You connect to TV via a VGA cable. Are you deinterlacing the image? Try Bob if not. Try downloading some known video file from a random web site and viewing it on another PC then view it with mplayer or xine or mythvideo on your TV. Try to narrow down what component is causing the quality loss.
