Never thought about it, nevertheless you could be right.

Yes, I tried with the S-Video cable shipped with my brand new miniDV 
camcorder, which is at most 1 meter long: same results. I was about to 
send frames captured from the that device, but the recordings from the 
satellite receiver are much better, even though the receiver is 35 meter 
far from the computer. The cable goes outside the wall, down in a cellar 
(sorry, I hope these are the right words), then up again and finally 
returns inside, near the computer. Boy, it took a couple of days to lay 
it down!

The closest neighbors are 100 meters far from here. I have no micro wave 
oven (actually, I would like to have, but my wife doesn't want it).

I have no new equipments round here that could interfere with the card(s).

Could it be the new motherboard? I bought it some weeks before this 
problem appeared, but it could have start to work bad in the meanwhile. 
Anyway, this is the only problem on this box, everything else works fine.

Or could it be an interference on the powerline? Or some other 
electric/hardware components?

Definitely I must try at least one of the cards on another computer, 
maybe asking some friend of mine, to be sure that the environment is 
completely different.

This is another good reason to test the card somewhere else.

Many thanks for your suggestions!
