Re: voodootv 200 great picture, static sound

I sent some logs out to Gunther Mayer, but I haven't heard back from him.  
I've been rather busy with other things so I haven't had much time to 
spend on it.  There's a sale on TV cards at CompUseless this weekend, so I 
think I'm going to go pick another one up and see if that does any better.
I found that with fine tune at 6 or 7 I get an OK picture and sound.  
Sometimes, the sound doesn't tune anyway but most of the time it does.

There's lies, damn lies, and then there's Microsoft's marketing.
