I9300 WUXGA

I just installed the Hauppauge TV MCE Edition that I received with my computer. Very slick add-on if. The only problem I see with it is the TV picture is fuzzy, i.e. out of focus, on max. screen. On min. screen, the picture is very sharp and in focus. I'm wondering if the default screen resolution needs to be reduced in order to get the same sharp picture at max. screen as you get in min. screen. Nothing in the instructions mentioning this. Appreciate any input. Thanks. Bob

Well, that makes sense to me that in would be fuzzy. You are viewing a standard tv signal at 2x the resolution, same principle when you maximize a small video clip you get off the net.

Perhaps try lowering your resolution if you are using WUXGA, then try maximizing the screen and see how it looks.

I don't think you'll ever get the picture perfect when using a TV tuner on a laptop. That is because there is a mismatch between the the decoder at max HDTV signal of 1024 vs the natural resolution of your laptop of 1200
