HVR-1600 plays action with horizontal distortion lines

[juno]

Hi everyone,

I just upgraded my HVR-1600 to WinTv7 and the digital OTA looks good, for the exception of when there is a fast motion on the screen. Fast motion areas look like “horizontal lines distortions”. Is their a fix for this or setting changes.

Thank you in advance,

Are you getting this in GB-PVR, or are you using WinTV7? This is a GB-PVR forum, and not a support forum for the Hauppauge software.

Hi sub,

I was merely trying to ascertain if it was common for the card to behave like this. Perhaps I should paraphrase my question.

Has anyone experience the horizontal lines issue with GB-PVR applications. I have tried GB-PVR before and I was very impressed by its scalability and flexibility. If that’s the rout I have to take I am more then happy to do it again.

I am also not sure if the issue is caused by the card or application. I have read on several forums that people prefer the HVR-2250 over HVR-1600 due to sensitivity issues of the HVR-1600. Perhaps that is the cause of the horizontal line issue.

Thank you in advance for your comments and answers,

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but sounds like "combing artifacts" which would indicate that the image is not being deinterlaced. Try using a different decoder.

I experience the same and I am blaming it on my video card. I am planning an upgrade to a nvidia GT 220 or 240.
