[QUOTE="Nicodemuz, post: 176765, member: 10942"] By amasing picture quality I didn't mean the TV picture quality...that is still blurry. I have now switched DVB-t device to another brand and now it doesn't hang/halt within 30 minutes. And I get signal strength and quality values that differ from 100% so this new card seems to behave more as expected. Recordings work but they get surprisingly small. Recorded the same show bot in MP and in my STB and the STB produces 70% larger file and I know that the STB records the mpeg2-stream sent over the air. So to me it seems MP re-encodes before recording, and probably before viewing due to timeshift, and that can explain the blurrier TV-picture when using MP compared to my STB. Is this the case? Or is there something else that is the reason? I have tried several different decoders (MPV, ffdshow, elecard, cyberlink, etc) and with same result. But I have had no postprocessing enabled, maybe that is the key to get same quality as the STB? Some more playing around have made me to come to the conclusion that at least most of the blurriness is due to de-interlacing (or lack of). I am currently using ffdshow and enabled de-interlacing in ffdshow video config and got better image quality but none of the choices of de-interlace method gives me the same good picture that I get from my STB. But the difference in quality is less now. Anyone got any recommendations in the area of de-interlacing? [/QUOTE]
