[QUOTE="echoing, post: 389440, member: 89471"] Thank you for replying so fast. :) The TV is TH42PX70E Panasonic 42 plasma, as you can see from my profile. I can't set the refresh rate lower than 60 with D-SUB. I think I could when I used HDMI, but that only made it worse overall. Does the refresh rate really affect the sharpness? :S I have actually bought PowerDVD, but I found the CoreAVC codec to be faster, and it gives better picture quality. Another thread advised to stay away from PowerDVD's audio codec, so I switched back to fddshow, and that really improved channel speed. Another thing.. There is quite a lot of noise in the picture, much like mpeg encoded vhs recording. I didn't notice this with the Sagem decoder. It's just as if the FloppyDTV is just receiving the analogue signal. But it isn't, because I can see the HD channels (with slightly better quality). [/QUOTE]
