Why is the antenna passthrough quality so poor?
This only applies to retail NOVA-T PCI boards with IR. The HVR boards use a different tuner and it is an FM radio input, not an RF-Out although the connector looks the same. A lot of people appear to have problems with quality output from the RF Out connector. The reason for this is that many motherboards cannot supply sufficient voltage to power the amplified splitter in the tuner (this only affects the splitter performance, the tuner itself works fine). The best thing to do is to split the signal before the TV card if you really need to attach other devices. If you are in a strong signal area you should be OK with a simple Y-splitter but everywhere else it is recommended to use a powered splitter.
