[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1156461, member: 82144"] Hello again :) I only used analog TV for a little while before digital TV became more widely available. Therefore I'm not able to offer much advice regarding picture quality. Maybe all that I could add to what I said in the other thread would be to say that "encoding is not everything". Other factors can also influence picture quality. For example you could check if the settings here offer any improvements: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/7_Scan_Analog#Video_Parameters[/URL] Having said that, honestly I doubt whether it is possible to get picture quality equivalent to a TV with a PC tuner. A PC is a very "noisy" electrical environment, and modern tuners use highly integrated chips. Both of these factors are not conducive to preservation of analog signal quality. If I were you I would check the settings here: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/7_Scan_Analog#Settings[/URL] Especially the frame rate. In my experience with software encoders, the best settings aren't always the obvious ones. For example, I recall having to use NTSC frame sizes (and maybe even rates???) with certain encoders. I really hope somebody is able to answer these questions for you (I can't), but don't be too disappointed if you don't get any response. Based on the forum comments, few people seem to use analog tuners these days... and I'd imagine there are not very many people who would have more than one tuner to enable them to compare encoding quality. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
