SD quality
I have had my Foxsat HDR for some time now and I have hardly used it except for recording because of the inferior quality of SD. Cannot seem to get a sharp picture when compared to Sky box. There don't seem to be many settings with which I can sharpen the picture.
Any help would be appreciated. |

Any help would be appreciated. If there was a difference I would suspect the Sky box. Those are more likely to be built down to a price whereas the HDR has never seemed to be 'cheap'. I believe that the Amstrad Sky HD box is particularly criticised for it's SD output. The best thing I can suggest though is to watch less SD

Have you tried cycling though the Vformat settings (bottom of remote)

I have both Sky+HD and a Foxsat HDR. The Sky box gives the impression of looking slightly sharper on SD, but actually it's "overcooked" and has slight overshoots on edges, which the HDR doesn't. This means from a distance the Sky box looks sharper, but closer viewing shows the overshoots, which I don't personally like. I prefer the more natural HDR "look".
