Poor quality video output from hauppauge 350

[Scooter]

Binary package hint: mythtv

I have a dual boot system between windows media center 2005 and ubuntu 8.10. I installed mythtv and it detected my hauppauge 350 just fine. The problem is the the output quality on me XP Media center is sharp and clean, while the output on the myhtv is NOT so good. I can see all the channels and can do everything with the guide and all, just picture is... well, on a scale from 1-10, it is about a 6 or 7. XP is about a 10. I don't want to upgrade to Vista... I hate Vista... I really have found linux to be great fun, but sure would like some help getting my tuner tweaked.

Thanks

Take a recording from MythTV and then play it back in Windows. Does the quality still look poor? If not, then I'd say it's a gfx card driver issue on the Ubuntu side.

What gfx card are you using? I'm using an NVidia GeForce 8800GT with the official NVidia drivers from the Restricted repository and definitely have no visual quality concerns.
