[QUOTE="geov, post: 213493, member: 26381"] Hi, and welcome... The simple answer is a very close YES. You will never be able to get it exactly the same, but very very close. There are basically three items that influence the picture quality: 1) Make sure that you have a very good graphics-card that specializes in video playback. Game performance is not that important, but video hardware playback assist is very important. 2) Invest in proper video decoder software like "Intervideo", which will enhance your video output. 3) Tweak the Hauppauge PVR 150 registry and other quality settings. Just search online for these, and you will get many hits. Because every TV/Monitor is different you will have to play with all settings until you get the quality you want. For example some of the things I have done to get an almost perfect picture on my 42inch plasma are: 1) ATI HD 2600 XT Graphics-Card, with 'Vector adaptive' de-interlacing. 2) Intervideo Decoder, with 'DxVA' and 'HWMC' enabled. 3) Enabled 'Use Quality control' settings on my TV-card, which is available for TV2 in Media Portal. 4) Set the 'DefAvgBitRate' in the registry to 850000000.
