I now have a Samsung tv, so reading previous forum entries it would be pointless going back to TIVO.

Not necessarily, you're seeing primarily only those unhappy with the PQ. I have a Samsung TV (B650 model) and SD (and HD) on it is just fine - I can't tell the difference between my old SA V+ and it on SD.

I have a Samsung TV and don't have any PQ issues at all. It doesn't effect all TVs

Same here.

Samsung is the biggest-selling TV brand, so it's not surprising that many of those who can see the problem have Samsungs.

I think the best thing to do is simply make a readjustments of you picture settings after having a TiVo installed if you feel its required. I feel I've improved the picture quality for my Samsung plasma HDTV.

Just wanted to add to the debate on this issue , I've used my friends TIVO on numerous occasions and went in at the weekend looking at mobiles in the VM shop someone was demoing TIVO so I had a glance and can honestly say I didn't see no issues with PQ , I've seen it on a Samsung panel and a Sony Bravia and couldn't tell any difference in SD when compared to Sky+HD or V+. The VM shop had C5 and Sky2 on and they both seemed acceptable. I was very impressed with the Home screen as this really stood out and the graphics and channel logos also looked good.

I,ve ordered Tivo, but after reading this thread, I think I have made a mistake. Can anyone tell me what the PQ is like on a 50" Panasonic plasma. At the moment the PQ from the V+ on SD is brilliant and on HD is outstanding and I do not want an inferior PQ when Tivo is supposed to be an "upgrade". I might cancel Tivo install and wait for the update to the Tivo before I make my mind up.

If the only thing you're worried about is picture quality then cancel and save your 3 quid each month, although I can honestly say I see no issues and I now have tivo in one room and v+hd in another outputting to the same model tv. Despite what you read on here about a range of issues, tivo is very much an upgrade to what went before imo. I honestly couldn't go back.

Hi, interesting thread. I have posted something similar with regards the Cisco V HD Box & the Samsung 2110c SD :-

Has the SD picture quality improved since the recent TiVo update.

And just to confirm - yes, to my eyes the PQ is much improved in SD.

Is anyone watching the game on ITVHD? That picture quality just says it all. Warm and slightly fuzzy with a healthy dollop of graininess on a close up. Seriously they have to sort this out.

I think that about sums up the commentary too.
