What do people think of the hd picture quality on their boxes? I have to say that im quite disappointed (unless im doing something wrong)
I'm connected via the dvi out to an hdmi converter like this
h**p://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140337666554&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Ive set the output correctly in the a/v settings to dvi 1080i 50hz.
I think it looks like a good sd picture. The colours arent great, and there is a lot of pixelization especially around graphics (like the scores when watching football)
I'll probably see picture artifacts more than others because ive an hd projector with a 100 inch screen. My old sky hd box had great picture quality over the same hdmi cable, and so does my popcorn hour media player. Switching between these sources really shows the difference in quality.
Also, i thought maybe the dvi/hdmi converter might have been poor quality, so i tried using a dvi/vga converter to send the signal to the vga input of my projector. This gave a green picture when using the dvi-pc setting on the dm800. When i try to output to my computer monitor using the same method, there is no signal at all.
