Hi all, It seems people are talking about TV cards reception here. Maybe someone can help me with my problem. I am having a problem with reception of only Channel 14. The picture and sound are very fuzzy only on my computer, it's fine with the TV in the living room.
I think it is a hardware problem, any idea?

I have this same problem, and I CAN tell by touch. It makes for a very noisy picture.
