[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 805483, member: 243342"] Hi, I recently acquired Slingbox Solo, which seems to be working OK so far. However, I have issue with SlingPlayer, both web and stand alone (v2). The problem seems to be some weird jaggy edges on the video – almost like anti-aliasing is switched off. I don't have this issue in any other video; local video files, BBC iPlayer etc. all work OK. I have this issue on my work laptop running Windows 7 64bit with Intel gfx card as well as my home desktop running the same Windows version but with ATI Radeon HD4550 gfx card. Both OS's have Aero switched on (apparently Basic theme can cause this issue). I should add that my very old Pentium 3 laptop with XP on it plays SlingPlayer video just fine – smooth and no edges anywhere in either web player or stand alone. Tried it on my parents' old laptop remotely and the video was really quite good on their Windows XP and an upload of around 1Mbit. I tried updating graphics drivers and played about with various settings but nothing seems to work It just looks horrible. I've added the attachment to show you what I mean. Any ideas? CJ [/QUOTE]
