It is not a decoder or monitor problem..
The problem is that your graphics card has to upscale the standard
definition analog video frames contain 400K pixels each to frames for
your high resolution display which in the case of a 1920x1080 digital
display having 2.1 megapixels each by inventing the content of the
additional 1.2 megapixels required. Some graphic cards do a much better
job then others and video processing equipment costing thousands of
dollars is used by the networks when to upscale SD programs for output on
their 1080i or 720p high resolution digital channels. When you are using
an analog and as HDTV digital tuner you can easily tell the difference
between the up scaling done by your graphics card when using the analog
tuner and that is done by the network for its digital channel for the
same program.
Regretfully the higher the resolution of your display the worse the
problem is.

Even with KB941229 and running on a HP m8150n
the video recorder and live TV are still unacceptable on
a state of the art Viewsonic vx2035wm monitor.
Neither the hardware manufacturer nor Microsoft can
seem to understand whqat the "problem" is. The problem
is that this is sold and marketed as a "MultiMedia Machine"
and it doesn't do regular TV very well. Not even with teh DVI
connector and all the best codecs loaded.
"Not in the house, not with a mouse, I do not like Green
Eggs and Ham ..."
Baring all the technical explanations, the "reasonable man"
consumer would think that if he purchased an $1,800 computer
it could display a TV signal on a 19 inch screen good enough to watch it
!!!
I am not giving up yet ... The Green Button has some hacks that seem to
work....
trouble is that even the DVD doesn't paly as good as it dows on the old
TV :(

I think I'm having the same problem as you and I would be interested to
know
if there is any improvement to recorded tv quality when it is player in
Windows Media Player (not Media Center)?
