The key issue with Tivo whatever TV you have is that Tivo seems to be the cuase of the slightly lower quality picture. V+ was noticably sharper in both SD and HD so it is the components/firmware in Tivo which is not creating as a good as picture as the V+ did to the same TV on identical settings. Just did not expect to go backwards when getting the Tivo, VM really need to investigate as this should be basic stuff. |

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
I tried setting 720p only, then 1080i only (auto detect setting) and then both, and then those two and 520p and 520i all together. Nothing made any difference.
I tried changing my TV's settings, but there aren't any really. I tried an On Demand HD program, Wild Africa I think, and although it was better, movement blurs the image. Still not as crisp and vibrant as SA V+ Any other ideas? |

My installer was a backup (the planned installer's van had broken down apparently) and while he had been trained on the Tivo install, it was clear with a few questions that he did not know much about the features and he seemed to be more BB experienced for installs. I noticed he did adjust some frequency settings from an engineer screen on Tivo and he had to install an equaliser as the signal was too strong, but I wonder if some other fine tuning should have been done? May be worthwhile for me to ask for a more experienced engineer to return to see if the picture can be improved from Tivo adjustments at least. Is your engineer the person who installed your Tivo or somebody you know in VM? |
Re: TiVo Picture Quality
There are no 'tweaks'. 1080 or 720. Your tv does the rest

My sa v+ is better picturewise than the TiVo, not much better but slightly noticeable. The tech can't 'tweak' anything. There is nothing to adjust. I think it's just the upscaling hardware in the TiVo that's not as good as the sa

If your TV has a decent upscaler then you can set the box to output SD as 567p and let your TV upscale it which could give a better picture than just having Tivo upscale. |

Given up tweaking. Just hope something improves, as this is just not very good at all, especially as there aren't that many HD channels. Boz ---------- Post added at 22:10 ---------- Previous post was at 22:09 ---------- Quote:

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
If the SA has 100% picture quality, i'd rate the samsung v+ at 95% and tivo at 90%
Still would rather have the tivo over a v+ |
Re: TiVo Picture Quality
I agree with the comment about blurring on movement. It's almost like the picture is going momentarily out of focus. To be honest, it makes it more difficult to watch and strains the eyes.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
I watched the snooker yesterday on BBC 2 and I thought the PQ was outstanding. Equally as good as the V+.:)
