It seems to...Hi there.<br />Found your page via google.<br /><br />It seems to me like you have no idea whether you're actually using DVB-C or Analog.<br /><br />Why do I say this?<br />Well you compare the signal to you GRUNDIG CRT which I doubt has a DVB-C decoder. Then you compare the two and say the Grundig is best.<br />To me this can only mean that your review is only a review of the analog part of this device.<br /><br />DVB-C is a digital signal that is delivered along with analog signals through your cable TV cable.<br />You need to examine your Terratec settings (in the tuner program) and make sure that you also scan for DVB-C channels.<br />You cannot be sure that you have unencoded DVB-C signals in your cable. You have to ask or look at the website of your cable provider to find out whether there are indeed unencoded DVB-C signals that you can recieve.<br /><br />Once you finally figure out how to watch real HD (DVB-C) signals with the Terratec I will bet you that you will give the CRT (and analog signals) a character of 5/10, while the DVB-C are 10/10.<br /><br />You may or may not have configured this correctly already but I honestly find it hard to believe that you find analog signals better (even though displayed on a CRT which is indeed richer in colors but has crappier quality).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267675559550605008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048321509230917439.post-61943156970129277912009-07-12T22:40:12.825-07:002009-07-12T22:40:12.825-07:00Unfortunately , starting from june 2009, this devi...Unfortunately , starting from june 2009, this device is not able to decode audio in France.<br />R5 multiplex Channels: TF1HD , France2HD and M6HD migrated to Dolby Digital plus, not decoded by terratec driver.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048321509230917439.post-12846584379532558282009-05-23T03:18:15.634-07:002009-05-23T03:18:15.634-07:00Hi Ivasar,

But unfortunately I didn't find a PCI TV Tuner Card that is capable of DVB-C and DVB-T that I like."<br /><br />There shouldn't be any noticeable picture quality difference between usb and pci tv-cards. The video decoding software should be receiving exactly the same bit-stream, unless one of them is more sensitive and the signal is weak enough to cause corruption/artefacts/blackouts because of failing error correction. But these errors can be detected by software (transport-stream analysers) and are probably not the things you are talking about?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048321509230917439.post-73123718940349761322009-04-19T02:10:00.000-07:002009-04-19T02:10:00.000-07:00Hi Bouba,
