Also what output resolution have you got set? 720p or 1080i?

Another thing worth looking at with your sammy is post processing. Have you got it on? Have you tried it turned off?

On the fix front, VM and TiVo have a fix coming that basically fixes the up scaling for 1080i and is due out this year at some time.

When I got my TiVo (changed from a SA V+) I thought I had some sort of eye condition happen over night! Within a week I couldn't see a problem (the mind is an amazing thing). Now I don't have a problem.
thanks for that I've set it to panel I'll see if its any better.

I have 576p, 720p, 1080i all ticked. I'm assuming it sends the best quality avaible out of what you have ticked to the tv??

I realise if I leave it i probably will just get used to it but part of me thinks hang on why should I get used to it??!! There was nothing wrong with my v+ and also they didn;t tell me that the damn thing would cost 3 pounds a month until after I'd upgraded and they were confirming the engineer visit. I am not exactly a low subscription either. I pay around 110 pounds a month. Why should I have to get used to something that is lower quality and pay more! There's something majorly wrong with that! Add that to the fact I paid 7 pounds to get sky sports hd to watch the rugby internationals to find out that sky have it on skyports hd3 and virgin only give me 1 and 2! sorry bit of a rant moment there!
