Well the quality is pretty good, but keep in mind also that tv cards are susceptible to interference i think. Well it's just that, orginally when i first installed it, the reception wasn't that good, even though it was connected to my cable. So i just moved it to a different slot, farther away, and the reception was much much better. I think it was the fan on my video card that was bothering it, so watch out for that kind of stuff. might not be good to put a slot fan or something related next to that or it might screw with the reception. i think this would be true for any tv card.
