[QUOTE="Ronner, post: 208760, member: 53432"] Correct. Same quality in all ways of setting it up. However, i doubt it's cuz of the FireDTV Card. It's a state of the art card (from what I hear on various forums including this one). DVB-C is usually also better in quality than DVB-T since DVB-T has less bandwidth as oposed to DVB-C and this needs to compress the mpeg2 streams more than with DVB-C.

It's just the way it gets processed afterwards that's making the difference. You say your quality is better than any stb you ever seen, but you have it connected to a DLP Projector. Have you ever DIGITALLY connected an STB to a 42" Plasma screen? (mind you, eventhough your source (dvb-t) may be digital, your connection as scart or vga or svga or composit etc is NOT digital and thus influences the picture quality greatly.) I Invite everyone to come take a look at my STB on my TV and my HTPC on my TV.. STB wins it hands down. sadly enough :( [/QUOTE]
