Totally agree with you

Not at the moment, As me and my partner have a new baby and a day after he came out of the hospital he was back in

Yes I do have HD

Sorry for the way the post was worded but I have had a lot on my mind over the last few months

So despite the interlacing problem described, the effect of the interlacing is to stabilise the picture at 1080i

Yep, can confirm the same on my TV.

However on my TV I seem to get the reverse of what Lew posted. i.e. on 1080i the text is pretty clear but if I set the output to 576i and let the TV do the work it looks really bad.

I seem to recall a similar thing with the "blurry menus" problem on the V+ box when set to 1080. Some people noticed the problem and others didn't, so it looks like it may only affect certain makes/models of TV.

I also remember that albeit i thought it was 720p that people were moaning about

Lew · 27-05-2011, 21:18

No, it was definitely 1080i that was affected, 720p was fine.

I hope it all goes well. It's always a concern when they're so tiny. At least he's in the right place. Chin up.

devilincarnate,I hope the baby is ok mate.

devilincarnate · 28-05-2011, 14:34

Thanks for the support

Just bought a panny P42g30. I can't believe how much better the HD (1080i) is than the 37PX70. And this while its being run in. SD definitely better on it as well.

Noticed something funny yesterday while on Cbeebies after it stopped broadcasting. If I flick onto the channel or in and out of the tivo menu then *sometimes* the text will show up clearly for a short time and then blur out and then return with the text all funny again.

If I can figure out a repeatable process I'll post it. Shame I can't record it somehow... not bright enough to get a video clip of it.
