’Pixel-bars’
Ever so often there will be drawn a bar/line of ‘bad pixels’ across the screen, just for a fraction of a second but still totally unacceptable.

Press "f11" when this happens and post the snapshot here. Sounds like it could be the result of very poor framerate-conversion somwhere along the line, where the outputframe is a mix of two frames, where the splitpoint is moving from top to bottom or opposite in a fast or slow motion. (writing to outputbuffer is not completed before it is read, so it contains leftovers from the previous frame)
Try pressing "!" to get a scrolling bar to get a better impression.

‘Frame-stutters’
Even worse is it when the picture momentarily freezes and then resumes very shortly afterwards
(also a fraction of a second) it’s like the HTPC somehow ‘lost’ some frames!

CPU-usage when this occurs?

‘UnSmooth’
This has also improved greatly, but there is still a tendency for moving text, like in the bottom-line of CNN, or in movie credits to be ‘unsmooth’ and make ‘micro-stutters’ – this also applies for sports like in a football game!

Clearly 50Hz vs 60Hz

'OOS'
Sometimes my picture is out-of-sync with the sound (or the otherway around!?!)

Dunno.-. Try changing audio/video codecs, that my only choice.

‘Pixel-effect’
It happens that the picture is somewhat ‘pixel-like’, eg. I can see ‘pixel-squares’ in waves in the see! – not that often though

You are watching 576/2 lines of real information that is updated 50 times per second on a 1366x768 monitor updated at 60 frames per second. My best candidate is poor de-interlacing. Best seen around the edge of moving objects.

’Unsharp/blurry’
The picture is not exactly super-sharp, but has improved greatly the last few day (earlier seemed a bit sharper, but was very ‘interlaced’) – It seems that there is a ‘blur-filter’ activated, and static boxes (e.g. ‘name-boxes’ seen on the news) have a slight vibrating effect (this has also been better earlier!) – But even though it is still a bit blurry/foggy I don’t know if you can expect more from DVB-S/T, I know I can’t expect ‘HD’ quality. But if it can be improved it would be nice.

Basically, the de-interlace-scale process is not perfect, and never will be. You can hope to make it "less poor" though =)
