**arin** · 16th December 2003

hey all, i would just like to know, before parting with my money, if the dvb-c picture quality on the pc is the same as the set top box on the tv?? or it is very close, how good is the quality?

thanks

err its prolly better on monitor unless u got HDTV because there are sum sat progs that are transmitted at 1080 lines instead of standard tv ( PAL=625 or NTSC=525 lines )

hope it helps

yeah - digital sat is encoded in low resolutions - its still not gonna be great but at least a PC "may" be able to upscale decently. If you are in the UK it's still gonna be crap - Sky doesn't think people use TVs bigger than 14"
