I was wondering if anyone could tell me of their experience of picture quality when in TV viewing mode.
I've got Media Portal 0.2 RC2 with the CVS from last week and configured up to use my Hauppauge PVR350 (with latest shspvr drivers) to get the VCR scart output of my NTL box to the svideo style input of the card. (well it does go by a switch box but I've tried it direct with no apparent difference)
The problem is that the picture quality looks washed out and in some cases I can see compression blocks(?) - I'm trying to encourage others to use it as a way of watching TV but the picture quality is better directly to the TV via the other scart socket (set to RGB).
I found the contrast, brightness etc. settings in the tv viewing mode on mediaportal and that made it a bit better but it's still different from what I can receive on my tv.
Any ideas?
