[QUOTE="Sirc, post: 320152, member: 83566"] I tried out 720p tonight, it definitely looks a lot better, looking more like HD than it used to. It's definitely given me more hope for this unit. The bars of distortion on the top/bottom seem to be gone, and the horizontal waves are harder to see now. I'm still going to have to try it in different rooms to see if there is interference in my office. Overall the colors are much more vibrant. When I switched to SPDIF audio I noticed that there was a bit of stuttering at first. I've increased the bitrate to 13.5Mbps constant and the quality gets better of course, although in some programs (ie. football) it stutters a bit with fast motion. What format settings are you guys using? Are you using the CoreAVC codec? I can get rid of ffdshow, will the Arcsoft codec do other H264 content I'm assuming? On a side note, how do you guys find the fan noise? I might have to mod a more quiet one like [URL="http://blog.arogan.com/2008/06/hauppauge-hd-pvr-model-1212.html"]this[/URL]. Also, is the IR working but not the IR blaster? Or just none of the IR? Edit: All the previous results were from Arcsoft TME, playing in MP the quality is a bit worse and seems to stutter a bit.
