OTA HDTV Project - Continued

The Dvico Fushion HDTV5 Gold Plus arrived yesterday and I installed it in the system last night. Once the proper drivers were installed Beyond TV4 found the card without a problem. The tuning of the stations take time and I was able to get signal on a couple of stations. Tuning this in could be interesting.

The video that was displayed wasn't terrific and I also had a delay in audio video synch. This could be due to RAM, video card, or processor. I'm planning on installing an additional 512 meg of ram tonight and a new AGP graphics card to see if this improves things.

I also noticed that the video wasn't being displayed full screen like it is with the analog signal through cable. We'll see if the hardware upgrades make a difference.
