Hp Tv Tuner coming in unclear

[Punisher27]

I just bought a new compter with a tv tuner and when I went to go set it up I keep getting a fuzzy signal. No matter what i do its the same result. Hp and my local cable company are no help. Any thoughts anyone??

90% of the time caused by bad cable connection or poor signal. (needs to be preamplified)

 

[Punisher27]

what does that mean preamplfied??? How do I get a better signal??

You can buy an amplifier at your local Radio Shack, etc. type store.

Do you mean a PVR ?

I have a PCI PVR card and Rogers Cable.Fantastic reception.70 channels.
Did you check your PVR settings for video color,sharpness etc. ?
Did you do a channel scan ?
Is it PCI ?

Heres mine

What monitor and video card do you have ?

 

[Punisher27]

my monitor is a Hp vs17 (generic pnp monitor) and my video card is Nvidia gforce 7350 le. All this was came preinstalled when i bought the computer. and I already check the pvr settings??

Best i can add

When you say "check" Do you do any adjustments ? You should see a preview of your adjustments or Try set to defaults.
How is your cable TV reception ?
Is it split to your PVR connection ?
You might try installing the PVR drivers or check for an update.
