Got my PCH but refresh seems strange

[Azimuth]

The GBPVR GUI seems to refresh out of sync with the PCH signal.
I have the PCH connected via the component cables.
I have the PCH configured for 720P 60Hz and everything is crisp and clear in the PCH menus. I load GBPVR with -m 720 -o component
the background seems to shimmer in certain places. is this because maybe PVRX2 is sending the menus at 50Hz?
I am using the default blue skin.

I'm not sure if that is a typo but it is -m 720 there is no p

No, it wont be related to 60Hz vs 50Hz. The frame buffer is updated infrequently by mvpmcx2/pvrx2, and the chipset takes care of making sure its send to the screen at the correct frequency.

What you describe isnt something I've come across. I'm wonder if its something to do with your TVs scaler, or possibly the TVs analog-to-digital converter?

sorry, I typed the post from memory, I have corrected my mistake

[Azimuth]

The strange thing is that there is no sign of it during video playback or in the PCH menus

but the shimmer has something to do with the lighter blues in the main menu of PVRX2

Did you try -m 1080 to see how it works, leaving config.xml as is?

[Azimuth]

do I then need to specify 1080 in the PCH video options?

[mvallevand]

No, the command line will override the PCH settings.

/etc/mvpmc/mvpmcx2 -m 1080 -o component &
worked a little better.

If it is still worse than the PCH screens is there anyway you can tell on your TV monitor what the signal type is when it is on screen?
