> I know it's impossible to quantify simply but what would you describe as
excellent results? I have the same setup and am running in
720x576Noscale(PAL). I don't have any problems with colour weirdness or
similar, but while I would say the picture was good, and I watch the vast
majority of my TV this way, I wouldn't say it was excellent in comparison to
the picture I get when using the built in DVB tuner in my TV. I've often
thought of trying to see what I could do to improve it but haven't had any
great ideas.
