[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1187743, member: 109222"] Hi. SDTV and DVD needs much more power than 720p HDTV, also you may not expect this. SDTV and DVD are normally interlaced material where the player (the Mini PC) need to recalculate every second line of the picture in real time. This needs a lot of power, much more than even Full HD (1080p) playback... Even a stock Raspberry Pi2 (I have one in my bedroom) w/o overclocking or additional heat-sink is able to play SDTV and DVD flawlessly. Same is for 720p and 1080p. As I don't have PayTV (FTA is 720p here in Germany where all decrypted channels are in 1080i) I haven't tested 1080i so far, but can imagine this will be too much for the Pi2. On the other hand, a much faster Pi3 should be able to play 1080i. If it's not working for you, most likely your network connection isn't fast enough so a faster client won't give you any benefit...
