Premiere Capture Quality Issues

Ok guys, I am capturing footage shot in 25p on a Panasonic Dvx 102b, capturing into Premiere using the DV PAL preset.

Premiere keeps turning the quality of captured images into mud. Observe the image below. The t-shirt is made horribly stripey and the right hand edge of the pool table has the same problem. It isn't the camera, because a quick check using RCA hookups reveals the original footage is fine. What am I doing wrong to make the footage look so horrible in Premiere?

The footage is that bad, it's the miniDV codec, it's not Premiere. The RCA connection is so low def, it just blurs the jaggies together so it looks "better" but it's not.

Don't sweat it. Capture the footage, edit it, output it to DVD. It'll look fine again once it hits your TV set.
