Image quality of live tv

[maxxgraphix]

I've noticed that the picture running through the PVR-150 and out of my gefx5200 isn't as good as straight to the TV from the Diectv S-video. I'm not saying it sucks. What I notice in all video output is the compression blocks in darker areas of the video. LiveTV/DVD/Recordings all the same. I'm using a composit cable from the gefx5200. I'm going to upgrade to a DVI soon to see if that helps. It's Nvidia version 77.

Never mind. DTV has high mpeg compression. It's noticable even when connected directly to a HDTV. Some DVD's are not very HI res either. I tried a few diffenrt ones and some play better than others. My signal quality is fine.

What they say - - garbage in garbage out.
