-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 First I want to thank you Rainer for all your help. It's very much appreciated. I've been trying different things all weekend and I'm now pretty sure that my lossy picture problem is not related to the cable-tv signal strength at all. I think it is hardware related and specifically something with the PCI bus. For example, if I change the PCI latency timer on the cards (setpci -s 00:90.0 LATENCY_TIMER=80), the picture becomes better on some channels (still not watchable though) and the thing these channels seem to have in common is their lower data rate. Are there any other settings I can play with? My next thing to try is to use another motherboard and see if it makes any difference. If it does, it's a bit annoying, as I really wanted to use the first machine. Have to get it fixed in 4 days because it's when Tour de France begins. Allez Ullrich :-).
