I still am somewhat of a newbie but I've spent hours now reading forums and trying things, and so I have a few questions.
Can the quality of live TV via GB-PVR, ever be as good as watching regular TV? I can't seem to get it so. Everytime I switch back to regular ol TV it's better. Same with recording TV shows. It just doesn't look as good as watching it on my TV via cable, live. I tried high quality and even custom recording.
Is this just a foregone conclusion that everyone knows and accepts or am I missing something. I don't notice it as much on CRT TV's or smaller TV's but I loaded GB-PVR on my brothers PC and hooked it up to his Panasonic Plasma 42" HDTV, and there is quite a drop in quality from live TV in GB-PVR versus live tv straight to the TV
I've tried 4 different decoders, I tried the Quartz fix, I tried Overlay, but the picture is never as good as regular TV. The decoders I have are Intervideo, Cyberlink, Nero, and Hauppauges. I'm using the Hauppauge 150MCE card with a GeForce 6200LE video card.
All I want is quality to be the same as regular TV. I'm sure if I can't get regular TV to match up, I can dream on about getting HDTV to be the same.
