Title: TV card - judder - HD channels
Post by: Wull on December 30, 2013, 12:37:57 pm

Hi.

Just picked up a TBS8922 satellite TV card. First impressions are good except for the HD channels, these seem to show quite a bit of judder, this is especially obvious during the end credits. I have tried changing the 'General video settings' but this doesn't seem to alter the result.

I am able to play DVD's and Blu rays without any problems. Is there something I am missing?

I am running:

ASUS M5A 78L-M USB3
AMD FX 8-CORE
8GB RAM
PNY Geforce GTS 450

Have you tried both Red October Standard and HQ?

Yep, tried both, the result is the same on either one. It's as if the picture can not keep up with the frame rate.

Happy new year  :)

Thanks for the TIP, but it's up to date.

I am still toggling between Red standard and HQ, not sure which is best if I'm honest, both appear a lot more stable than before. I had hoped to use HQ, one reason, this works with my blu rays etc, the other, so I can use MadVR.

Do you have VideoClock turned on?

Yep, that's on, thanks Nick.

I think I may have found the problem, possibly a screen refresh rate conflict. Since setting Windows 7, NVIDIA & JRiver's screen resolution to 50hz all's good, well it was yesterday. I will see if things have changed again since then later tonight.??

I would strongly recommend using JRiver's Enable Automatic Display Settings changing under Options > Video > Display Settings.  Set the Default to 50 so it returns to this for TV after showing movies, for example.  I don't think MC's TV uses the auto display settings yet.
