I really want to remove the need for SKY as my TV provider, as I find that I do not use any of the pay to view channels, and tend to watch the terrestrial channels. So, I followed the installation guide and found out about and installed SAF V6 (based on LAVF) codecs pack, I have managed to get all my HD and non HD movies working really well (well to my satifaction anyway). But I am really struggling to get the Live TV aspect of MediaPortal to give me anything close to quality I expierenced with the SKY + HD box. I find that the picture is not as clean or crisp as the SKY box, espiescally on SD content, HD content is alot better. I am now starting to lose my patience with messing around with various setting, and the fact the otherhalf is nagging at me to get it sorted ;) I am using Dynamic Refresh Rates Cinema - 23.976 PAL - 50 HDTV - 50 NTSC - 50 TV - 50 I have been messing around with Interlacing, but not really sure what it is doing, any suggestions on what this should be set to? I have looked into Aspect Ratios, as MediaPortal seems to set itself to Zoom, and when I set it to Original, the TV picture goes into postcard mode (very small). Whatever I do, I just feel that I am guessing all the time, so I thought enough is enough, call in the experts......:D So, can anyone please review my setup and let me know what can do to get a better picture or at least a little bit less blurred. I hope I have explained my issue well enough, I have attached as much information that I can think of. Thanks in advance Phil [/QUOTE]
