[QUOTE="the_drewster, post: 213406, member: 60722"] Yes, you're right. The TV is set to 720p and using "original source format" would explain why Normal differs from movie to movie. So first things first, under what setting is "original source format". Secondly, does it not defeat the idea of HDTV if playing the original res results in a tiny stamp. Does this mean that to fill my screen to 16:9 I would lose picture quality. Thirdly, am I right in assuming that an HD picture will only become apparent if the source being played is HD, like a blue ray disk, or an HD mkv file? And lastly, do I need a special codec to play HD files, and if so, does MediaPortal have any bundled with it, or should I be searching for others? Many thanks Drew [/QUOTE]
