    Visual pixilation in dark background scenes

    I have the MCE, problem is that are shown in dark scenes, dark gray between black and very pixilated and there is no liquid transition between a dark gray and has a deep black. Is my DVB-C receiver just too bad? And I through a standard digital receiver, the problem had not. I have my HTPC on the weekend completely re-fitted with windows 7 x64. Until now, except for the setting up of TV channels and installation of the driver not to go on with HTPC.
    Hardware:
    • AMD X2 5050e
    • ASUS M3N78-EM
    • 2 GB Corsair Ram (just called I've just not handy)
    • Samsung SP1614N
    • FloppyDTV DVB-C / CI

    via HDMI with AVR-1610
    Apologize in advance for any suggestion thank you!

    Firstly, it's because of the HD False facts described of scaling on large TVs. On the other hand it could be due to your cable operator. We know it is not, but cable for example, private free TV channels recoded again with a lower bit rate, before they send the signal to customers. As a result, more channels to fit on a transponder and the customer arrives definitely a worse picture than broadcast by the station. Provide a good comparison here, the public broadcaster, which will not be recoded. The image quality is much higher than in private!

    So as mentioned already quite old TV 32 "LCD. HD-Ready resolution is likely to be when I'm not mistaken. The problem I see clearly when I was in a normal distance (about 3m) from TV. I'm going to try today to do this evening a picture. I then try and look at your settings from HD-False. Possibly it helps me even more so. The problem is, but I only noticed since I switched to HTPC use. With my cheap digital receiver from Premiere I have not had the problem. A codec problem might be? I like to know any extra codec’s installed. Maybe I can achieve anything about it? But I will try in any case, even if the problem is different between public and private broadcasters. Thanks for the suggestions.

    The image will transfer from receiver to TV analog and digital Now that you have the Floppy DTV, it is digital and therefore are the obvious aberrations increased. There will undoubtedly be at the sub-optimal codec from Microsoft, but that's another story. If you mean "traditional" You look at TV, either directly via the TV or receiver to the TV the TV will be taking even more image enhancement tasks. Since your TV as you say, somewhat older, is it not really be much. Today's TV sets (LCD) have very good black levels, and sometimes the ability to recognize artifacts and to improve slightly. Yes you can also take a comparison between public service broadcasters and SD make public service HD channels. Since the quality of SD broadcast on the HD channel again slightly better than the comparable broadcast on the SD channels. This is definitely the codec (MPEG2 and H.264).

    How it looks! Your current TV will have poor contrast. All the latest TVs have better black levels and thus the difference is that the panel represent your current TV unit cannot fully 32bit. Since then, very clearly visible in gradients, technically to get the missing colors. This problem I have with my aluminum iMac from 2007 . The Media Center setup, it is also an area for the monitor, at the end you use the TV controls (contrast, brightness, color, sharpness), the image can still easily corrected. Have you ever tried this?
