I occasionally watch feeds from 43W and 45W which, despite a good signal on the signal bar, produce a jumpy, coming and going picture, and am told that this is because the transmission is in NTSC, and my box(Humax 5300), can`t deal with this properly. An NTSC-PAL converter(analogue) simply made the picture worse.
I`m confused because I thought all digital signals (in Europe anyway) were MPEG2, and my receiver would convert them to PAL, so that I can watch them on a PAL TV. So how can a digital signal be NTSC, which I thought was an analogue format used (mainly) in the USA? And more importantly, does anyone know how I can resolve the problem?.
Humax tell me there is software to make my box NTSC compatible, but this may upset the PAL output. I wonder if I bought a cheap receiver from USA, to use only for those feeds, would that work?
Thanks in advance
