My experience is that changin framerate does not affect my picture quality. I suspect it does not work to select NTCS frame rates, because when I do and click OK, and re-open the TV-Server settings application it is set to empty. The NTSC selection does not stick. The video parameters does not seem to be what I am looking for.Thank you. Well I have tried a bunch of different decoders, inluding microsofts own. And since there were no motion issues with the card what I recall when using Windows Media Center, and it looks the same regardless of the decoder I select, and the hardware encoding card PVR-150 mpeg2 stream is decoded without issues, I believe it has to do with the encoding. Also, the motion issue is corrected when I change encoder to ATI, which also indicates it is an encoding problem. However, I think the ATI encoder image quality is not as good as my hardware encoding card.Ok, I add some screenshots from my two cards. Unfortunately they are not from the same moment, I have to switch tuner priority or start recording another channel to be sure I use the lowest priority tuner. Perhaps there is some smart tool or trick to capture screenshots from the two cards from the same channel and same frame. Anyway, see attached files. The motion problem can not be seen in these screenshots, but I believe the general difference in picture quality comes through. They are captured using the "snipping tool" in windows. To not bias you I don't include the name of the tuner. Some are from the PVR-150, some are from HVR-1100. If you see which one is which clearly, it is not just me imagening... =)[ATTACH]170506[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]170507[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]170508[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]170509[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]170510[/ATTACH] I believe my graphics card is sufficient, it is not that old. Nvidia GeForce GTS 450. I don't have a 50 Hz Tv, Tv can only do 60 Hz. However, somehow connecting the cable right into the TV gives alot better quality. And the hardware decoding card (PVR-150) gives a log better quality than the software decoding card.I appreciate your suggestions to make the HVR-1100 work better. But as I said in the first post, even if I get it to work just as good as the PVR-150, it still seems that there is more to be had in the market! The question is where! =)</blockquote>
