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:D

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.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality

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. ;)

Re: TiVo Picture Quality

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.

Re: TiVo Picture Quality

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.
