TV tuner problem

[SofaKing]

I just installed a WIN-TV GO card in my PC. I installed the
driver and started viewing TV shows with WINTV2000, and everything
seemed to go fine, but after a few minutes, it would turn all blurry.
I reinstalled it five times, same thing would always happen. What's
wrong?

After a few minutes...

A little better

And crappy again..

Sys Specs:
Asus A8V-Deluxe w/ 1009 bios

can you be more specific? system specs? is it an internal card, hardware decoding or software, etc?

it could be a heat issue

i just installed one today soi can't be of too much help but i'm sure someone will with some more info provided

Try it in a different slot, and if you can in a different pc

WinTV Go is a internal card (original post says too, "I just installed a WIN-TV GO card in my PC"), and a fairly simple one as far as TV tuners go - no hardware coding, no MPEG anything really.

Update videocard and motherboard chipset drivers maybe? Also, play around with the Deinterlace settings in WinTV2K. Look for Overlay settings, and mess around with those?

I'm sure the mobo and video drivers are up to date.. Don't know abou tthe overlay settings. I've haerd that ATI has driver problems with tv tuners? I'm not sure.. but I have an x800 PRO

EDIT: I set it to deinterlace and now it seems to be fixed, thanks!

I've used a WinTV Go on a Radeon 9700 Pro and a 9800 Pro, and a PVR-350 on a Radeon 9500, with no problems, so that's probably not it.

Odd that setting it to deinterlace would fix it; yeah well, at least it's working now.
