[QUOTE="littlematt, post: 496461, member: 25302"] Hiya I just got a new high gain aerial + new cable am in a small valley with pylons marching across the ridge in the direction of the transmitter. These are both Bad Things according the the aerial guy. I have no mast head amp... Try ditching this? However I get 100% quality and 0% strength I think this is fairly common and not very reliable indicator of Q+S something to do with driver variation between cards? I get all FTA channels off DVB-T no problems at all. Not that knowledgeable about DVB-T signals and your card but I guess its best to eliminate one thing at a time ie first the masthead amp then the TV card itself IE try your mates STB. Silly question time... Have you got the latest drivers, are there any 'splits' in the aerial, is there someone nearby with a big amateur transmitter mast? Also yuo are using coreAVC as your h.264 codec have you tried using power DVD codec? I was getting nasty pixellation untill I remembered to use this codec and switch on 'hardware decoding' within mediaportal configuration/video settings (I think) [/QUOTE]
