Members John Sayers Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 I have two digital decoders both hooked up to the same aerial. One is a set top box on my analogue TV, the other is a USB HDTV decoder into my computer. When they experience signal loss during storms etc they both react differently. The set top box pixelates the picture and the sound glitches annoyingly whereas the USB decoder freezes the picture and keeps the sound going. The second, making sound priority over picture is far preferable as you don't loose the story and a frozen picture is easier to handle than a pixelated one. So when one is hunting for a decoder how is this option defined?? cheersjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff Leites Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 I don't know, but my Sony HDTV does the first (pixelates the picture and the sound glitches). In my case it was caused by multipath reception due to having two UHF ant. connected to the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Sayers Posted June 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 My computer feed is from the downstream send from the original set top box so that's probably not a factor. The second option is far superior and I want to know the difference. anyone? cheers john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
