AIW Radeon 7500 poor coax reception

Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be with a AIW
7500 that works great except that reception from the tuner is very poor?
Composite input gives good picture but tuner is unwatchable. I have replaced
the cable and verified that the signal works well on a TV.

I suspect a problem with the card but wonder if anyone else has experienced
this and has any suggestions to offer?

Thanks

i've just started toying with my AIW VE, but my AIW 128 on another
machine gets WAY better quality with the same cable.

I put a little 10db signal booster on my setup. They can be had at
WallyWorld or most any electronics store..

my aiw7500 (have 3) tuner works great. I assume that you re-run the
Initialization wizard and re-scanned channels.
Maybe you can narrow the problem some by using/testing with a coaxial signal
output from a VCR. Any chance interference is in or near the PC.
Might check the output to a tv, or a clean Install.

Good Luck

sounds like your cable signal is too strong and your card is being
overloaded
