Problem with ATI TV wonder VE

[KillerJello]

With programs such as Showshifter the Live TV video quality is awesome, but in snapstream it is very grainy, and blurry. Also sometimes the sound will click.

I have the trial version of snapstream, and I was going to purchase it, but not if i cant get the video quality up to an acceptable level...

I have tried EVERYTHING in the other threads of the same problem.

I did not install ATI's software when i installed the card, except for the drivers themselves.

Please help me out here, this problem is the deciding factor whether i purchase Snapstream or not....

Thanks,
Jason

EDIT: i should say im not a fan of ATI but it was in my price range for my HTPC...


I also own the peice of crap MSI TV@nywhere, but that thing doesnt work with any 3rd party software, and the includes intervideo software is horrible.

I read once that Snapstream has to use software to render images where the software that comes with AIW uses the hardware. Picture quality is much better with native ATI media center but I love the Snapstream interface.
