Hmm -- I tried switching to Unichrome XvMC output instead of the PVR-350 tv-out, and quality was noticeably worse, so I switched back. This was on an ME6000, however, not M10k. I used the KnoppMyth R5A12 precompiled binaries. Specifically: - - enabling overscan resulted in several vertical blank lines on the NTSC tv out, as described here [1] (looks like it's now fixed in CVS) - - also noticeably less sharp output, with overscan on or off - - higher CPU usage, so hotter CPU. I'm trading off CPU load for fan speed, so this was also a negative for me.
