looks like this thread got resurrected - elijah sorry i dont think i can help you in that area. i have a cable split 4 ways myself and my recording playback quality is great but ONLY if i view it using the hauppauge software. if i play it back using windows media player or even dscaler its...

so basically have a fps drop means the sounds will be noticeably weird/hallow/lower tone? i was thinking of the av710 too but i don't want my sound to be weird when i play games. should i look elsewhere?

hey elvito would you take the turtle beach over the m-audio then or vice versa. i'm considering those 3 cards too but not sure which one to get. don't plan on spending too much either (40-50). i'm going to be using it mostly for games and movies and i have a 5.1 speaker setup.

hey guys i have a 9800 pro that is freakin loud. i'm a newbie so i feel nervous about replacing the fan but is there anything i can do about this or is it normal? it's loud compared to the fan on my dell 400sc. i guess i can't expect whisper quiet but any suggestions would help. thanks-

i actually have 1gb of ram and its a p4 2.8ghz. but yes i'm lookin out to get an audigy 2 value or a turtle beach santa cruz. thanks

i have a dell 400sc that has an integrated sound card and i noticed that when i play certain games (in my case richard burns rally - great game btw) that after a couple of car crashes that the sound suddenly sounds really low and slightly in "slow motion." don't know how else to describe it...

definitely not as "pretty" as MCE so you'll be disappointed there. i'm sure there are some skins to make it look better. the most similar looking thing i've found is media portal - i've had it for a while and i find it extremely difficult to configure. but it's the most similar to MCE in...

yup it worked. thanks kirbster - much appreciated.

i'm looking at my pvr-150 options (some software option called primary) and for the video display mode i have selected "allow overlay" and not allow vmr (if i had selected it i would have to choose b/w vmr7, vmr9 or either). any other ideas?

hi does anybody know what's going on if i'm using an s-video out to my tv w/ my ati 9800 pro but even though i can see my desktop, any video i play w/ windows media player or the wintv software (for the pvr-150) just comes out as a black screen. basically no movies/video come out on the TV...

media portal looks awesome but like the man said...i can't get the tv working either. but then again i don't even know how to get the tvguide thing working or where to get the file. if i got that working though that program would be sweet - you just gotta have the time and patience to deal w/...

hey mastercheez i'm lookin at my wintv32 settings and i don't see the deinterlace option - sorry to be a noob but mind guiding me as to where that is?

don't want to belabor a point but just thought that for those that were considering the recording quality i just randomly found this screenshot for the tivo and it's very similar on my pvr-150 http://tivo-mplayer.sourceforge.net/screenshots/tivo-mplayer-ss.png you can see from the guy's...

yeah i haven't watched my recordings on the tv yet - friend was saying it'd look better that way too but i guess i'm wondering how ppl get such good quality on those tv episode rips you can download via bit torrent 'n the like. not dvd quality but at least the images are smooth during playback...

thanks for replying - the tv looks way better. my friend said that the tv is just smoothing the all the messiness out (sorry i ain't a techie so thats how he explained it to me). the signal isn't so bad in still shots on my htpc but it's just when there is movement - really bad... could...

i have comcast here in sf and the quality is just okay i guess - colors are washed out but i guess thats just b/c i'm too lazy to adjust the settings on my pvr-150. what drives me crazy is when there is movement (like watching a basketball game), then all these horizontal lines show up on the...

anyone else know about the sleep/wakeup mode - i know it's trivial but it's kind of important to me b/c i travel a lot and won't be around my computer much during the week. so if i could find a program (hopefully free) that will wakeup my computer from sleep - record - then go back to sleep...

hi i'm in the process of setting up a htpc (meaning i'm a noob) and about to get a pvr-150. i've heard of beyondtv and sagetv but what about Media Portal? http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net/ 1. any users of it? it looks a lot like MCE2005. just want to know if ppl who use it find it...

i had to look twice to see that the two texts were different. at first i thought the upper one was slightly bolded - almost looks like a slightly different font. anyways i'm probably one of the few that actually does have a 193P and unfortunately or fortunately however you want to look at it i...

yeah i'm newbie in this area and thinking of making a htpc but i just don't want to leave my computer on all the time and run up my electricity bill. would recording tv programs not work if i left my computer in some sleep mode or is there a way to make it automatically go into sleep mode after...

i just got my 193P and man does it look awesome. way better than the 1901FP and 2001FP's i've gone through. design is top notch too. for those of you that have it what are your settings on the magictune software?

i just ordered mine - what did you use to hang it on the wall? is everything in the box that you need to hang it up? or do you need to buy another bracket?

i know this isn't a deal forum but just thought that people who were interested in the samsung 193p can get it for $526 after rebate on jr.com or amazon.com (provided you buy it from j&r). i'm pretty sure this is an awesome deal since i've been looking for so long to get this (you can search...

it seems like ghosting w/ any LCD depends on the game. it's tough to say that LCD A categorically ghosts on all games - the 213T being one of them. you read reviews and they say this game it doesn't ghost but that game and you can see a little ghosting. just depends on the game you play...

i wonder when this thread will die.... and i bet by saying this i've just immortalized it

i went through 2 of those 2001FP's before i finally got sick of it and i'm probably gonna get a 193P instead. but basicall if it doesn't bother you then you should keep it. why keep hunting for a problem when you don't have any? at least for me the screen door effect meant for me that i...

yeah but be careful b/c they reserve the right to send you a refurbished which is what they did with me...before i returned that one too (waiting to get my money back now).

i don't own the samsung but i did take a good look at it at compusa since i'm interested in getting it (my 2001fp...bleh...returning it and hopefully my second one won't have dead pixels and the screen door effect). first of all i can't speak on movies on hte screen b/c compusa chose to just...

well i posted a thread a little while ago deciding b/w a 2001fp and a samsung 193p. i went w/ the 2001fp cuz i got it for 680 shipped and i figured wow... 680 for a 20 incher while the 193p is like $750 and it's 19". unfortunately i'm not gonna write much about ghosting cuz i haven't played...

well i just ordered a 2001fp friday and will be getting it this week - i'll let you guys know how games run w/ my rig (system specs at the top of the thread). was gonna go w/ the 193p but it's just too expensive and doesn't seem to be that hot w/ games. plus i keep hearing it's been...

hey thanks - yeah i'm curious how it runs utk4, halo 'n the like. i don't really play those demanding fps' (more CoD, CS) but it'll be good to see how it runs i know the 2001fp can handle those games pretty well but problems like these... :eek: scare me from purchasing it. well it...

yeah i think you're thinking of the wrong LCD - the 193p is relatively new and is really different from the 910t. there don't seem to be too many owners of the 193p though - very few posts from owners - just curious buyers like myself so i haven't gotten too much feedback on its gaming performance

yup it does - that's why i was gonna go for the 193p if 1600x1200 didn't work out for me (looks like w/ my rig it won't). anyone have experience w/ the samsung 193p on fps games???

hey guys - i'm debating b/w a 2001fp and a samsung 193p but w/ the dell i'm wondering whether my rig will be able to handle running games at 1600x1200 resolution. I have a Dell PowerEdge 400SC,2.8GHZ/512K Cache, P4, 800FSB 512MB DDR, ECC400MHz, 2X256MB ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB...
