[mythtv-users] Quality of KWorld ATSC 110 analog tuner ? Comparisons ?

Hi All,

     I've got MythTV (recent SVN) working fairly well for digital OTA
channels with my KWorld ATSC 100 card, but for analog (NTSC) channels I
still have a few probelms (no audio, and switching from digital to
analog station hangs until a _second_ analog station is selected).

     Apart from these solvable (???) issues, I have to say that the
quality of the (NTSC) video from the card is pretty poor, under either
MythTV or tvtime.  The analog tuners in my 2 TVs and a VCR provide a
much, much better picture from the same signal.  Can anybody out there
compare the quality of the analog (NTSC) tuner in this KWorld card to
other analog tuner cards ?

     I'm tempted to just abandon NTSC on the KWorld and get a second
analog-only tuner card, but if the video is equally poor I don't want to
waste my money.

Thx
