Decided to give this newsgroup malarky a whirl - Page 5

There's a slight bug in TVersity at the momemnt where the last 30 seconds or so of a video will stutter, sometimes quite badly. There's a fix in the forum somewhere but it's fixed in the new release which is imminent - which incidentally, adds PS3 support.

It was the same when I first installed it dude, just need to tweak the encoding settings off the default. Mine's optimised (I think at least) for the TV content I download (24 and Prison break mostly at the moment), so 640x352 resolution (the same resolution all the source files seem to be in), optimise for quality and tell the server it's a wired connection. After that, it looks no different to me hooking up the lappy and playing off that

If we'd have thought you could have seen it the other week.

Cool, I'll take a look at those settings, running a virus scan at the moment as PC is behaving slightly erratically and something doesn't feel right :/

Worked a treat, thanks Daz

Also found that going into Console Settings->Screen Settings and changing to 480p instead of 1080i makes the image that little bit sharper. Probably dosn't make a huge amount of difference, but if you're planning on watching several different programs it wouldn't hurt

LOL

You shouldn't run 1080i if your screen is a 720p screen, people think that it will make things better its a common misconception that more is better but actually you're much better off pixel matching or as close as you can get

I'm on the VGA cable anyway. The one you gave me

Davey_Pitch · 22-03-2007, 23:37

Ah sweet, forgot your were on that

Haly · 22-03-2007, 23:42

1080i?
Some people dream of that

Daz · 23-03-2007, 10:28

I found 720p nicer than 1080i, but then I have a smaller screen so it doesn't make much difference to me.

I heard this morning people who queued overnight for a PS3 in London got a HDTV worth £2k for free. Bastards

At the London launch everyone who bought a PS3 also received a free 46-inch HD television and a taxi home.

Bastards!
Sony said the taxi was so that no one got mugged on the way home

Fair enough really.
