You can take the composite socket from you Yaroze and plug it into the
WinTV card, thus freeing up the RF in for an aerial.

As far as quality goes, it could be down to your video card. Does it
support overlay? I run mine at 16-bit colour with an overlay capable
video card (Videologic GS600) and it's fine. As good a picture as I
would get with a normal TV, if not better. Depends on the weather with
my aerial !!
