I have flashed with latest BH image, but picture looks horrible on HD channels, there's lot of horisontale stripes. TV is HD ready and HD channels has looked fine with others images. I think there must be some kind of driverproblem.

We need more inf regarding the settings , connection and configuration?
plus to have clear HD reception , the SAT signals should be SNR>50 %!
And screen shot of TV pictures , will give us more info about the problem!

However, if you are happy with other images, U can use them!
BH image has nothing to with the issue U'r (only) having!

I see is depend witch channels I use. Some channels are wors than others. I don't know how to take screenshot from my tv, but if there's a 45 degrees line on tv, this line looks like a stairs with steps and not a fine stretch line. Signals is over 70% and I have not changes settings on tv or my sat receiver.
Of course if I not find any solution about this problem I must try another image. I have never had problem with earlyer vers of BH images.

For screenshot,
@U"r PC,, put the STB IP at your net browser , and you will have wep-if ,,displayed ( read a little pit more about this here in the forum,,or Google for more details)

However , as you explain, it may be a TV issue or settings configarations!

Here is my settings for example:-

screenshot.jpgscreenshot (1).jpg

Or try other images , and see!

On 1.7.2 the option to set a channel as default startup service is missing.
Was this eliminated or moved somewhere else in the menu ?

I can not remember the options channel as default startup within the image.
There is only a plugin for it on the server StartUPService I think
But I did not test .
