Hi, I have had my HTPC for about 2~3 years now and in general it has been very reliable and nice setup. However one thing that has always bugged me is the TV reception seems extremely poor when i connect it to me internal tv card. (Hauppauge WINTV NOVATD 500 DUAL TUNER).
I know that my TV aerial reception is pretty strong as when i connect the aerial directly to either of my TV's i get almost every Freeview channel. The TV card can find about 40% and even some of them are so choppy its unwatchable.
After reading various help forums i was informed it could be a internal device on the PC itself causing interference or the aerial cable. I have tried to eliminate all these and non resolved the signal drop outs. (couldn't remove mobo or PSU as i have no alternatives).
Anyone have any suggestions as to what else i can try??
Would an external USB style TV tuner resolve this??
MY rig as it stands is:
