I have a WinTV Primio card which I wanted to use for Yaroze dev but the
picture was awful, I used an RF cable originally which it didn't even
display, then I tried a Composive video cable at the expense of no sound
which was also pretty dismal. It could have been the software that came with
it, are the applications you mention, DScaler and VirtualDub pretty good?

I had kind of given up on the TV card idea because I didn't want an extra
(pretty redundant) board in my PC.

Thanks,
Andy M.
