[QUOTE="guest poster, post: 576236, member: 262401"] To me watching any HD stb / flat screen combo is like scrapping finger nails on a blackboard and I laugh at the sales cr@p about 'sitting further and further back' ... I have a background in the video studio- production side and when SD originally came out it absolutely infuriated me the level they accepted for any of the mediums.... broadcast or recorded. We worked in high speed iconic graphics... exactly what digital really struggles to handle. I have never liked the lossy route.. including Jpeg... Mpeg2 just used that and added more lossy to it and they gave up on the original HD version (Mpeg3) because affordable processing power couldn't deal with what they were trying to do at the time (it still can't) and when mpeg4 was finalised I had hoped it was more like what SD should have been... it wasn't ... unless nothing moves... If I watch a soccer match with mates and they are all watching the footy .. I'm watching the digital flaws and wincing every time it digitally bottle necks or the pitch turns to foggy pea soup... But that's just me... best not know too much or you'll just see all the flaws.... Anyway.. Have a look at the Technomate HD stuff ... at least they have a known very sensitive tuner... [/QUOTE]
