Cable TV Picture Stinks


My picture from Time Warner Digital box stinks; Best output is S-Video and I've already hooked up a expensive S-video cable. Picture still very grainy and pixelled. Will a scaler help? JCB

JC,

Are you saying the best picture quality you have achieved is with s-video (not Component or DVI/HDMI) or are you saying your TVs highest resolution input is S-video (no Component or DVI/HDMI input on TV)?

Also, is the issue only with certain channels? All channels?

I had PC issues with TW and two things helped resolve the issue: 1. TW came in and checked the signnal strength. It was a bit low and they ran a new cable into the house and suggested a couple of changes to my in-house topology. 2. A new (different model) STB was much better than the previous model.

I currently have the SA Explorer8300HD which has the built-in DVR. It has exceptional PC over Component Video.

Enjoy,

TIC
