Message: <blockquote data-quote="dipje" data-source="post: 34606" data-attributes="member: 12779">hauppauge's (at least 250's and 350's I tried) have settings in the registry (which can be tweaked with some tools or manually) to control the antinoise filtering (combing filter, not to be misread as something todo with deinterlacing) but maybe more interresting, a sharpness setting. I don't know if the 150 has this.The problem I had was that my 250 did the colors wrong by default. Less saturation and way too much brightness compared to the picture my old tube TV gave. I've been playing with the image-settings and the sharpness values until I could switch between live TV on my tube TV and the scart-channel (with MP hooked up playing the same thing) and I couldn't notice any difference at all, but it took some time.And yes, it seems you loose some detail anyway with the encoding done on the hauppauge cards, and that becomes visible when you hook it up to a large digital TV <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I also had strange results when I hooked MP up to a philips LCD/Ambilight TV. It (like any other modern TV I guess) has loads of options and filters all set to default settings (auto-color-adjust, auto-brightness, etc..). The hauppauge card is also doing some filters, so it looked kinda weird and blurry. Turning off all the filters on the digital TV and the image was clear and exactly the same as on a CRT monitor.Ah well... it could also be that you're too sensitive about the PQ or something, or just really picky <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. And the setup with an analog MPEG2 card and a large TV just isn't right for you.Good luck!</blockquote>
