Problem with Holywood+ DVD Decoder card

[palidor]

Well, not so much the decoder itself, but the pass-through cable.

none of my other system info is really relevant, but i'll post it anyways (athlon 650, asus k7m, 256mb pc100 kingston ram, viper v770 pci 32mb video, sony 5x dvd, 8x4x32 plextor, sblive, etc)


I run at 1024x768 resolution. when I have the pass-through cable connected, i get the ghosting/wavey crap all over the screen.

Is there such thing as a better cable I can get? is this a common type of cable, or is it a proprietary one that only comes with this particular card? do they make heavier shielded cables?

What can I do to fix this problem?

I suppose I should also add that im using a generic compusa brand 19" monitor

Well almost everyone gets unusable 2D-quality when using the H+ with the pass-through cable. I think the card is intended for use with a TV and it works great then.

I got the same prob. with my NEC FP950 and my friends viewsonic 815.
So it must be card related (ie. passthru cable).
