I was wondering, is there such a thing as an up-converting codecs/software to improve SD TV quality?

I have tried FFDshow's "sharpening" setting with some success.

    It's all about the codec and the filters being used.

    If you are running have your PC set to 1920x1080, then the SD is being upscalled anyway, it's just a case of getting the right settings to the best quality.

    Have a look at the Stand Alone Filters that Hoborg put together. I think they configure your system for the best quality settings.

    Thanks, I installed the SAF Beta 14 last night and it seems fine. I am just trying to heed the warnings and not to install unnecessary codecs - yet at the same time wondering if I have the best one. A case of the grass is greener on the other side.....

    The FFDshow had settings available, not sure about the one "borrowed" from PowerDVD9 in SAF?

    Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine. Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC? PS: You can also try to make short record

    The only configuration that is certain to work is when the MP client and MP server are from the same release. It is sometimes possible to use MP clients from a release that is different to the MP server, but whether it works depends on the specific changes that were made between the two releases. -- from CyberSimian in the UK
