[QUOTE="Ronner, post: 209490, member: 53432"] ok, update. I pretty much gave up on trying to get the picture quality better or at least as good as my STB. I tried 720p (1280x768@50hz) as custom resolution and adjusted the loss of desktop space with the screen calibration in mediaportal settings. It looks way worse than what I had with pixelmapped 1024x768@60hz. I also tried other custom resolutions such as 720x576@50 and 1920x1080@50 and most look ridiculously horrible. I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that picture quality on my STB is simply slightly better than on my HTPC. Then stability-wise. I started using the new tsreader filter and must say that the stability has improved a lot. I was able to switch channels without much hastle. I only had like 1 crash of mediaportal (crashed to the desktop) after watching tv for like 2 hours or so. But other than that the new tsreader filter does wonders for my stability issues. Btw, does anyone use powerstrip and is it any good in combination with mediaportal ? Does it differ much from custom resolution settings in nvidia's drivers? [/QUOTE]
