blur reduction was on 5 and judder was on 0. I believe the blur reduction was turned on for gaming reasons (so the kids said anyway)
i don't really care how or why but the judder problem has now gone.

its just hiding until the kids change everything back
but Rob is correct, all these things should be off, whereas gaming can be very different ..... hence you set up personal picture settings that can be switched ..... but then again Samsung are poor at providing user options.

maybe a tv for the kids? .... just joking

Just updated - AGC still in the 30's

 

[Rob van der Does]

Just don't look at AGC at all; you don't learn anything from that value.
I think I'll remove it from the skins.

They've both moved out now so I can have it whatever way I want
I've just done as you all said and turned everything off. It's an odd one. Sometimes it's fine and then other programmes will show a very slight juddering. Probably not noticeable to a normal eye. My Mrs can't see anything different for example. I'm only comparing it to another stb I've still got connected. (The amiko alien2) . The picture is sharper and there's no sign of motion blur or juddering whatsoever.
The mutant is about ten times quicker though so I'll probably be keeping it anyway. I was sick of the alien freezing all the time.

My AGC is 97% on this box and only 38% on the alien box, from the same cables. And my dish isn't aligned properly. Strange.

 

[Rob van der Does]

As I said: please never look at AGC, as you can't learn anything from that value. And especially comparing the value between different boxes is utterly useless. AGC is not a value one can define....

I just carried out an online update to the latest version of vix and straight away Iv noticed channel loading time has increased a lot, for example if I where to zap between channals before the update they would show almost instantly but now there is a delay before the channal show's, any ideas?

 

[Willmoore]

I also noticed a change in SNR. On 016 my snr for BBC1 would be high 80's flashed to 018 SNR went to mid 50's (Picture is fine) Flashed back to 016 - SNR 88%

 

[Rob van der Does]

And the importance of that is.....?
An STB is not a satellite meter; values can only be used to a limited extend. Use than as relative values, not as absolute ones.

Does the lower the SNR it gives a worse picture not sure , but sure I read it somewhere ?

I do not know but thought it may of interest to those of you who do. Can you explain to those of us who are less enlightened why updating would affect the displayed SNR.

 

[twol]

In the latest HD51 driver there is a change for the SNR, but not sure if it is in 018 ... the update and the build ran on the same day but ......

 

[ccs]

...This went into 4.2.017 according to the changelog

....[hd51] driver update -fix snr value -improve combination with diseqc switch/motor -improve dvb-ct2 zap speed

Just had new dish and quad lnb fitted today. The box is working brilliantly. So quick. I've just ordered a little brother for it in the mutant hd 1200. Gonna put that upstairs. The blurb said I could stream from my hd 4k box to it which would be really useful for me.

 

[liverpoolee]

Just put the astra ultra hd demo channels through the box. Stunning picture quality.

Give it a few more years and i might be tempted to buy a 4k box but at the moment there is not enough content to justify upgrading my current fav box a Vu Ultimo

Andy? Hello me ole fruit
I'm baaaack!
I've just bought a Sony 65" TV 4k for the kitchen and need to buy another receiver.
And I'm looking at this Mutant hd51....
Would you recommend it with the 350gb h/drive, S2 & C2
See below
Anyone's thoughts would be much appreciated

 

[twol]

So when I acquired my HD51, I took one look at the receiver and was close to sending it back ... however having used it for almost 2 months I have come to appreciate its inner technologies
It works really well, has a great picture 1080 or 2160 and you don,t have to ****** around with fbc tuners.

I now like the HD51 (minus its casing and remote) so much it has become my test receiver .. quite a turnaround

Would be a great buy from the sponsor wos

Thank you so much for your feedback... I've literally just got it there ready to order.....
With what I've shown above I can access cable and sky, yes? Just checking before taking the plunge :/
