Hey Guys,
I recently tried W7 Media Center when I upgraded to W7 to see how it performs these days. I am now back in MP land, but have found an interesting issue.
The morning news show I watch has a "ticker" scrolling headlines etc. along the bottom of the screen. I never noticed an issue until I moved to media center. In MediaPortal the scrolling ticker looks blurry, as if the scrolling text leaves a shadow after each letter. In media center it was very VERY clear.
No hardware has changed, so I assume it is MP. Could this be the TS reader/writer, or is it more likely to be the renderer that MC uses vs what MP uses? I haven't added any codecs above what W7 installs, nor have I changed the default codecs in MP config.
Any thoughts?
