Poor picture quality vix 4.2

[tappari]

When I´m

My Samsung is having its second panel replacement in six months tomorrow. I think it's panel delamination as there are dark smudges when it is displaying bright images. First panel lasted 11 months. Maybe an LG next time?

When I`m talking about tv, I`m talking about proper tv, not Samsung.

What's "proper tv"? I think Samsung were one of the biggest manufacturers of LCD panels. There are fewer and fewer panel manufacturers now, so Samsung and Panasonic are using Chinese panels or have moved to OLED. My TV is LCD with LED backlighting. OLED for my next TV, but not just yet! We'll see how long this replacement screen lasts...

The calculated lifetime for your Samsung tv is around two years. After that electrolytic capacitors in power-supply unit will finish it.
Let me tell this more exactly. The way is to place capacitors that normally have to be wet, you place them next to the heatsinks of powersemiconducters. That will dry them in two years. And you will by another tv.

Ref. my original Post "Poor picture quality vix 4.2" on XTrend 10k. Being an Electronics Engineer, I can relate to some of the comments made, but can categorically state, that with no video enhancements ever been installed and the Receiver has only ever had out-of-the-box bare images installed, that 3.2 is better on that receiver than 4.2. I have re-installed both images 3 times to be sure. As to the comment of my attitude towards Updates, IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT, in my case, I have no problems with 3.2, it provides me with all the functions I need and therefore, it makes no sense to change that. I do however appreciate the work the Vix Team does and in no way, was my Post a complaint to them, just an observation.

One difference between 3.2 and 4.2 is that the latter has to be set up from scratch.
Could there be a setting you have missed/changed?

(Un?) fortunately a TV picture is only as good as the eye of the beholder

I have an ET10k Upgraded from Vix 3.2.036 to 4.2 and hit the same problem as others using ET8k. Even HD is not as sharp as it was with 3.2 and SD has vertical lines/bands, very visible on poorer film/program source. Also 4.2 is very slow to change to Radio source, whereas 3.2 is instant.

I don't have any PQ problems with ViX 4.2. Installed ViX 3.2 to try and the PQ remained the same. I have an ET10k G-Edition maybe this matters.
However changing radio and tv sources is much slower in ViX 4.2. This also applies to Vu+ Uno, which I have.

On FTA services?

On any services. And it's slow on switching to radio channel. There is a 3-4 sec extra delay. Switching back to TV is normal.

I really can't confirm that, not on a VU, nor on any other box.

Out of curiosity i tried openPLI tonight just to see what happened.
I can confirm the same poor quality , so must be driver related and to be honest i would rather stay with vix 4.1 than use openPLI even if it had fixed the problem.

So apologies to the vix team for ever doubting your work and thanks to Xtrend for ruining a perfectly good receiver.

Is there any chance of getting rossi's iskin onto 4.1?
Thats my main reason for me wanting to update so i can use this skin.

Once again, its not drivers. OpenViX build 4.1.010 onwards inc 4.2 series ALL have the same drivers

Once again only builds 4.1 008 (not tried 009) and below appear to work correctly (no vertical lines) except for build 003 where the LAN connection doesnt work and 4.1 001 being the most stable.
So if my problem is with builds 4.1 010 to 016 and builds 4.2 then surely this is no coincidence?

So if you keep on insisting its not the drivers...and its not my tv then its an image fault? (obviously not as openPLI does the same) or then it must be a faulty box? In which case it should be returned to the sponsor?
As the box is only 10 months old.

Cheers Andy.
I did try this whilst i was at 4.2 build 6
I copied the iskin and common folder from usr/share/enigma2 to pc then put it back onto 4.1, it seemed to work at first but then crashed when trying to enter the menus.
Not sure why Unless im missing a folder from another location.
