quality issue

[supaman32052]

update on this post.. i tried the mag at somebody elses house in another town.. and it showed up better than at my house they had different internet and a smaller tv .. i tried somebody else house in my town they had the same internet and same size tv maybe even bigger and the quality was the same as mine.. which leads me into thinking that the internet is the root cause of quality performance.. thanks for the help guys.. im still a mag 254 fan.. ive ordered 3.. about to get 2 more

That's how the picture looks like on IPTV, there is nothing that can be done about it, this is SD. HD channels look better, and IPTV right now has no HD channels except for a few sports channels. If you have a 1080P tv, set the mag to 1080P 60 hz. Do not set it to 720P it will not look good. This has nothing to do with your tv or your equipment, this is how the picture looks like on IPTV. Hopefully a full line of HD channels will be added, i believe it is important.

Yes the picture is just not that good right now. The people who say it is must be blind as a bat. Let's hope and pray iptv goes hd. Suxs that this day an age we have to settle for sd.

I have a 60" Sharp Quattron..I have no complains on the pic. at all...I am comparin it with my SV8HD from Iks and I see same SD and HD follow the below instruction I have and also I must ad if you go to other tv's make sure they are also on the same program or there will be a visible difference

108p-60
1280-720
Auto detect DVI Off
Force Off
HDMI event Immdiately
Hope this helps the OP

what 1080 broadcasts ???
720p is normal setting for HD on MAG254
MAG257 will do UHD/HEVC in about six months ..

the pac 12 have a couple 1080 feeds. also if we can get nbcsn , thats always a 1080 stream. there are lots of 1080 streams, we just don't have that many hd ch

well im lost all our HD channels in E U R O P A (richest trading bloc on the planet)
are in 720p
as are the MAG BBC IPTV services ...requires about 5-7mb

cant see anyone bothering with 1080i as it will jump stright to UHD HEVC
