Picture "snowy" with Vista MCE

The best way I can describe this is - remember when we used to have the
video/tv switches for video gaming on the Atari? It looks like that - like
you're trying to watch tv when it's switched to Video Games.

TV Tuner is a Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600.

Any thoughts?

If you are watching analog channels (2-99) then you probably have low
signal strength.

I'm sorry - I should have clarified. This is using a digital cable
connection - going from wall to set top box to computer to TV.

Cable services are both and analog AND digital it is only the tuners that
the cable is connected to that are analog or digital and sometimes both.
My cable service supports both all of the old analog TVs in my house and my
"digital tuner box".
And my "digital cable box has an analog tuner in it for channels (2-76) and
a digital tuner for channels over 100.
The cable output from your cable box to your 1600 card is a NTSC SD analog
signal and a poor quality coax could give you snow.
In any case you can get better quality video from your cable box to your TV
using S-video and stereo audio then you are getting using RF coax which is
subject to snow and interference.
