[QUOTE="DigitalFusio, post: 559196, member: 87330"] Hello All, I really need some help. I guess we will start with SD picture quality. Slow moving images are fine, such as newscasts, or when people/things are not moving fast. With sports, racing, and things of that nature where the picture is moving fast, the quality is so bad that its nearly unwatchable. I was watching some motocross racing last night, and all the racers literally blended together and I could not distinguish between the crowd, the racers, or the track. It was one big moving blob! My HTPC doesnt have cutting edge, new hardware in it, but its also not a relic. Win Vista 32bit Intel D920 Dual Core 2.8 2 gb DDR2 Memory Two Hauppauge HVR-1850/1800's via S-Video in from cable STB ATI Radeon 512mb X1900XT PCI-e via Component (RBG) out 56" Panasonic HD (rear projection TV) Am I wrong in assuming that the above HW should be good enough to view TV? I know the Vid card is a bit old, but it still should do the job, should it not? I have FFDShow set for both the mpeg2 and HD codec in TVServer Setup. However, I set ffdshow to have the on screen display, so I can tell when its running. When watching videos I do see the OSD, but when watching TV I do not. I went into the TV Post-Processing Screen in the config, but when I select FFD show, and click the settings button, nothing happens. Are there any other options/settings I can try, or is my HW just not up to the job? [/QUOTE]
