[QUOTE="Crabstick, post: 292691, member: 76521"] I also tried Cat 8.7 and got BSOD. DON'T INSTALL Catalyst 8.7 to a system with 780G board. Reverted back to 8.6 and now suddenly I get decent de-interlacing with DVB-T. Finally my TV picture quality from HTPC is close to what the TV internal tuner would display (Samsung 40" M87). Also Blu-Ray movies play back fine with PDVD7, DXVA on, at 24Hz. Before Cat 8.6 the playback at 24p resulted in slight stutter every 10-15 seconds. Now it's smooth. After all I'd say this is a good board for HTPC, as soon as ATI would fix their drivers. There are still some issues for example when switching display mode to 24p and back to 50p (interlaced video display will brake, reboot will fix). Settings I use for TV playback: MPV decode filter (decode, no deinterlacing) -> ffdshow (postprocess,resize to 1920x1080, keep interlaced) -> VMR9 (ATI CCC adaptive deinterlacing). Desktop resolution is set to 1080p50. I still have one problem: The picture will freeze if I turn my TV off and back on. Sometimes MP will hang completely, sometimes I can recover by turning off the TV player in Mediaportal (pressing "live TV" from remote I can get back to TV home screen with frozen video preview).
