Oops, I do that sometimes!

My DVB-C's came without cables, so I put something quick together to see if it 
all works. Using video out, audio L + r, and a GND (shared between the other 
3 signals). Thin long wires unfortunately. Composite to VCR. Picture is way 
too dark, sound is fine, and somehow it takes over the VCR, as in, if you 
change from the input to a normal cable channel, the input signal is mixed 
with the normal channel. If you use the OSD menu of the VCR, is scrolls all 
over the screen. 

Anyways that's beside the point :-)

How about the antenna signal (cable) going to the DVB cards, to the VCR, and 
to the TV. On the PC side their shells are grounded to the chassis of the PC 
case. Is that a sufficient GND?

Also, does dark composite signal sound like bad ground? :)

Cheers
Dennis
