My Media Center picture is excellent, what 'sherer' is refering to is the fact that the NTL box outputs RGB in the scart, however almost all capture cards will only accept composite video or Y/C connectors.

I got round this by pruchasing a Scart RGB to Y/C converter black box. About 60 quid I think, but well worth it. The picture quality is brilliant. You can't tell any difference at all. I've also got a redeye IR converter, it's abit of a pain to setup, give yourself 30 mins or so, but it does work eventually. I've heard that you don't need the redeye on all NTL boxes.
