[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1157209, member: 82144"] Hello again :) I accept your point. To be "on the safe side" I would still recommend to check the frame rate on some of these sources. You might be surprised and find that many are 29.97 fps, and that would explain why they do not have the problem when the HVR-1100 does. Okay. You're right about too much sharpening introducing artifacts/noise. Yay! :D I agree that this is an encoder problem. As previously mentioned, the only causes I can think of are: [LIST=1] [*]Mismatched frame/refresh rates between the tuner, encoder and TV. [*]Encoder quality settings too high to do real time encoding. [/LIST] I know you already tried different frame rate settings in TV Server configuration, so I'm not sure what else to suggest. Yes, I generally agree with everything you said about this. 3.5 dB [I]is[/I] a fairly standard splitter insertion loss. Please do not forget the possibility that the signal is [B]too strong[/B] for the HVR-1100. Signal can be too weak or too strong. That's why I suggested an adjustable amplifier/attenuator. Here in NZ you can buy something then return it if it doesn't do the job... or alternatively pay for a technician to check the signal. I don't know if it is worth the money/hassle/time for you to do that. The PVR-150 and HVR-1100 are completely different designs with different components. Having done a little with analog electronics, I know that it is entirely possible for one to handle the same environment better than the other. Anyhow, it will be interesting to hear what Hauppauge says. :) [/QUOTE]
