Humax HDR, Panny TH42PX70. Select say ITV1 HD news at 13:30 for example. The logo and titling is really poor quality. The white text almost looks as if it's been written with chalk with bits of blackboard showing through. What might I have done wrong?
TIA.

Not reduced the transparency?

IIRC it looked absurd on its factory setting but once reduced to nil it was fine.

Sorry.

Please ignore what I wrote in post #2.

I completely misread your question.

OK Jepson, I did wonder
Graham, vformat = 1080i and yes to hdmi.
Now (don't laugh) dancing on ice is a terrific picture, (so are most adverts including the text) but I'd have thought that studio news would be equally as good. The more I see the text the closer I get to throwing bricks.
A mate has Sky+ through a Sammy 42 and it's amazing although I haven't watched news on it.

Aha the news is most likely upscaled SD which may include the text captions. I wouldn't expect any significant difference viewing the same content between a sky-hd box and a foxsat-hdr using the same tv with the same settings.

If you have ITV1-Granada on your epg it' s currently the only 1920 x 1080 channel on the freesat epg.
