SD Picture Quality Looks Very Soft Focused

[stefor]

Hi All

I've just took the plunge and bought a Vu+ Duo as a replacement for my Dreambox 800HD. On the Dreambox I use Blackhole, so I thought I'd give it a bash as my first image on the Duo. Everything installed well, but I do find the SD image quality a little bit soft compared to my Dreambox. A little like watching an old 70's movie when they thought it was cool to soft focus everything!

Does anyone else have this problem?

I've tried changing the sharpness in the menu, but it really doesn't do anything much. Any thoughts?

How to you connect to your box ?
HDMI, scart ?

I connect via HDMI and my TV is a Sony 40HX703 LCD. The Duo is equally as good in HD as the Dreambox, but in SD the picture seems very mellow, where on the Dreambox SD seemed more upscaled to almost a HD look.

Check the TV contrast!
Ply around with Sony pictures menu,,,,!

Then look @ video enhancement plug in , see what sort of setting it has and adjusted to your liking!
