Mainly colorbanding improvements. I am testing with divx rips of DVD's.
The ATI Mach 64 TV-out had a horrible time with dark scenes. I am noticing
a definite improvement in that area.

Steve,
Could you be a bit more specific about the quality improvements you are
noticing? I find that the MX400 composite out is *very* blurry. I would
like to (if possible) get text appearing more clearly, and have the output
of xawtv at full-screen look a bit more comparable to my TV with cable
plugged directly into it. From there, I can tweak my mythTV settings to try
and stay as close to the original as possible.
Thanks,
Chris

Well, I got mine from from Buy.com and tried it out. It has better
display quality than the TV-out on my ATI Mach 64 card. I like it. Thanks
for the tip on the Web Cable Plus.

Mind saying where you paid $68? All I'm seeing is $85+
Thanks, Bob
