[QUOTE="mowog, post: 19103, member: 12370"] Yep, I'd concur with that. My TV (Sony widescreen with integrated digital tuner) is less sensitive to impulse noise in the RF signal than the FusionHTDV DVB-T card I have in my HTPC. I find that the TV will actually render corrupt MPEG frames until the next clean keyframe, while the DVB card just drops everything until it gets a clean keyframe, which causes much more visible interruption to the picture. Visibly, it's like watching a DVD or DivX on a machine with insufficient CPU -- the picture stalls and skips while the audio continues uninterrupted. I'm actually going to get my house antenna rewired using quad-shielded RG-6 rather than normal 75 ohm RG-58, since it's far more immune to local impulse noise. Also, beware of using a masthead amplifier to receive a DVB-T signal.. check out [url=http://www.dba.org.au/index.asp?sectionID=25#Masthead_amp]this link[/url] for the gory details. Cheers, [/QUOTE]
