[QUOTE="osksa, post: 1157970, member: 155144"] Ok. But for some reason EVR was grayed out in Hauppauge WinTV7, so I had to reset MediaPortal to use it too to get the same setup to compare. Now back on EVR. Points taken. Absolutely correct. The only reason I did not stick with the ATI was that I was not happy with the image, and I looked too much at the bitrate.
