Media Center
This section only covers problems relating to Media Center 
mode. Media Center mode is available only on Windows Vista 
Home Premium and Ultimate versions.
The Media Center video display looks bad on your TV
Many factors can significantly affect the video quality:
Cable connections—Loose cables can lower video 
quality. Check all cable connections.
Display type—The Media Center is best viewed on 
computer displays. Other types of display devices, 
including TVs, may provide lower quality video.
Type of connection used—The connection type has an 
affect on the video quality.  Your computer has one or 
more video outputs. Use the highest quality output your 
TV and computer supports:
A/V cables (basic)
S-Video (fair, but not optimized for computer video 
display)
VGA (good)
DVI (better)
HDMI (best)
Quality of video cables—Poor quality video cables can 
cause problems. We recommend using high-quality 
video cables.
