[QUOTE="pglenn, post: 34688, member: 17773"] I would like to create this thread as a help for anyone currently or potentially using a theater 550 card. I would like to keep it "clean" and just have posts from people with what detailed H/W and S/W and MP settings they are using currently with Theater 550 cards. Also including results, as in perfect, terrible, or whatever in between. Comparisons will then allow others to know what does and doesnt work and plan and configure accordingly. Please no debates or requests for help or other in this thread, lets keep it to settings and results. I am struggling with the quality using XTASY Theater 550. I have the below listed system. I have read all the threads I found on the theater 500 card and still cant get mine to work satisfactory. I have read other people have great success with this card so I know it potentially works. I really want to use this card w/MediaPortal. I am able to view TV in beyondTV (tho it is also crappy, about same as MP) and in GB-PVR (which actually has very high quality live-TV) so I know that card and drivers work and that my system is very capable of quality live-TV with this card. and my AIW 9800pro pulls in a great signal using MMC9.03 so I know my signal is not a problem. The MP Setup finds the card as ATI ELITE (same card really) and it is a H/W/ card. I verified the device-ID in the capture card config file is the same as GRAPHEDIT shows. My current settings (Nvidia Video Decoder, VMR9) work good but not yet "perfect". picture is very good but still a little "soft" - it is kinda like a very very thin veil has been placed over the screen, kinda washed out colors, to best describe it. I am also experiencing freezing or stuttering of the picture sporatically but continually, similar to dropped frames, Patrick -------------------------------------- 0.2.0.0 RC2 WIN-XP MCE Athlon 64 3200+ GIGABYTE GA-K8NSNXP-939 nForce3 Ultra 1gb Ram, DDR SDRAM 400 ATI AIW 9800Pro MMC 9.03 Catalyst 5.13 Windows XP Media Center Edition XTASY Theater 550 w/driver ver. 6.14.10.102 system runs at 2.08ghz [/QUOTE]
