[QUOTE="pmbsa, post: 760619, member: 10427"] Hi, I have recently returned to using MP after a long time away. I appear to be having issues with the TV quality which is seriously affecting my GAF (which is pretty much key to getting to keep my installation! :D) I have a headless MP tv server running with a couple of Hauppauge HVR-1900 USB2 cards (onboard mpeg2). I have them connected up to a couple of sat receivers using the composite connectors (so everything analog really, nothing clever). I have everything working nicely, external channel change, XMLTV guide all works perfectly. On the client side, I have a base model mac mini connected up to my HDTV (40 inch over HDMI). I have installed the latest NVidia Purevision codecs (last time I used MP those where considered prett good codecs but I dont know anymore) and I have the TV settings set to use those. The problem I have is the general quality of the TV picture. I have tearing and colour bluring and pretty much any other issue going on you can imagine (aside fro stuttering, there is no problem there). I have messed with the Deinterlacing settings alot trying to improve things but nothing seems to help. I have also used the default codecs for MP without much success as well. I am hoping somebody might be able to point me to some tips to try to improve things, I am not sure if there is anything I am missing on the server side which might help (I have set the cards to use High quality streams with the Hauppauge settings as well). Aside from the TV, the video quality is all good (using the same codecs). I am able to play my ISO images and .mkv's and all sorts without a problem, in fact the picture quality is really really good) Any advice would be appreciated, like I said I would be loathed to have to give my new toy but without a quality TV picture my chances are pretty slim. thanks Paul [/QUOTE]
