[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 895037, member: 746"] When you use RF, the modulator inside the DSTV starts off with a composite signal and converts into an RF signal. Then the TV has to re-convert this into a composite signal for processing. That is two extra conversions. Considering that the RF modulator is made as cheaply as possible, quality is not a consideration The newer SD decoders have HDMI out and are very cheap. If the TV has a HDMI port, then this will give you a much better signal, crisp and clean. CNN for instance is 1080i, as is National Geographic Then you won't miss a second of the oft-repeated Outsurance advert, or the fat lady promoting Dischem's Christmas offer [/QUOTE]
