The TiVo is more sensitive to signal levels apparently so it could still be that.

watched Legend on BBC2 at the weekend - was shocking quality

Hi, Picture Looks just as good, on my Samsun 46" as it did with the SA V+.
In both HD and SD, after a couple of tweeks to the settings.(brightness and colour)
Overall I'm very pleased with the TIVO

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

BTW, did you know that pressing up arrow while watching a TV show switches the HDMI output resolution?

I assume if you put 520i and 1080i as your only choices in the Video Output settings, then you could easily switch between the two for SD and HD.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

Does anyone know what the signal levels should actually be, i.e. what is the expected or accepted level?

I never knew that, thanks Boz!

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

That statement is one of the most ridiculous i have ever heard,stop pulling the wool over peoples eyes.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

No your statement is the most ridiculous!!

I was one of the first Samsung V+ boxes installed and as soon as the tech connected it and switched it on you could instantly see the picture was a lot sharper and also the Menus looked great at 1080i

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

Heh, a bit harsh. I agree with Stephen, Samsung PQ was better than the SA and NTL boxes I had before. TiVo worse.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

Glad you agree about the Samsung :-) However I find TiVo to have just as good PQ.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

I concur!!

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

This only works for playing recorded shows, not live shows. Which is a bit odd.

Interesting post on VM TiVo forum showing close up of comparison between TiVo and V+.

Need mores comparison shots to be conclusive, but it's a start to identifying why some people have issues and some not.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

Yes good post, somebody with TV with Tivo and V+ both attached so can directly compare PQ.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

From those pictures it looks like some sort of de-interlacing error.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

Sorry too technical to me, is that a signal feed issue or a software in the box issue if that is the cause of course!

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 

Just tried that on my 40" Samsung at 1080i and have that problem but only with that channel, text actually looks better (and always like that V+ shot) on my TiVo at 1080i as at 720p on that channel it flickers like mad.
