Hello,
I got my sweetspot card today, installed the latest drivers and dscalar version off the sweetspot website, and connected my cable digital box via the sweetspot RGB cable.
First impressions of the card/software are excellent. Coming from using a JS RGB to Svideo converter with the packard bell capture card, this sweetspot setup is a massive improvement. The colours seems so natural and rich, with the picture showing great edge definition and excellent detail. I just watched five minutes of Trisha on ITV2, and she never looked to good (well actualy bad, but you know what I mean). The OSD from the cable box is so crisp and clear it is great.
I think that using the specific Dscalar has helped as it was pointed out earlier in the thread that this has been calibrated for the sweetspot card, and it shows. To watch the television now is like watching an average DVD for picture quality, and is far more enjoyable.
I can't wait for ER tonight on channel 4, this will be a real test for the sweetspot.
If anyone out there is using the PB capture card and an s-video input, and is thinking of upgrading, please don't hesitate YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!
Cheers
Rob
