Greets -

I have a working MythTV box that I'm going to be updating to use with OTA - ATSC HDTV channels. I'm looking at using the HD3000 adapter like everyone else. On the pchdtv.com site there is a sample HDTV video clip (tst.tar aka tst.ts) at the bottom of the downloads page: http://pchdtv.com/downloads_right_down.html

I downloaded and played this clip on a few of my systems (Dual 2Ghz G5, AMD64 3Ghz, and P4 2.8Ghz) using current mplayer and xine builds. In all cases the quality was shockingly bad. The most noticeable problems had to do with what appeared to be interlacing (shouldn't even be there?!) and edge artifacts like around the engineers head in the opening clip. The background zooming by the train in the second scene also showed noticeable problems with edges.

I'm curious if this is the quality that is expected from the HD3000 or if this is just a recording of a poor quality 480i stream that might have been uprezed to some HDTV format. Is anyone willing to post 5 - 10 second clips of HDTV streams they've captured with the HD3000?
