PC to HDTV

[Thierry Plouchart]

I have an HP PC with Media Center 2005 and I installed an HDTV tuner card
(Avermedia A180) and it works great except for when it comes to playing back
the 1080i channels like NBC and CBS. I think it is related to my ATI X300SE
PCIE graphics card. I'd like the picture to be smoother and realize I need a
higher performance card but want to stay with an ATI since I've tried the
NVidia and don't have control over the dual monitors like I do with my
current ATI. I'd also like for the output on the new card to have a digital
connection to my new HDTV. I've got a VGA input on the back of the TV but
would rather use either a component or HDMI input principally because I
can't get any better than a 1368 X 764 resolution and my TV is capable of
displaying the full 1920 X 1080. I can't remember which card I could use
from ATI which would be sufficient to do all of the above. Does anyone know?

Why not go to the ATI website and look up the specifications of other PCI-E
cards? www.ati.com

ATI are also able to assist you using the email option, you can write and
ask.
