We've all been reading about people's hacks about being able to adjust SHARPENING and other things. Does anybody know anything

Improve Sharpness
With this trick you can change the sharpness of both livetv and recording in wintv2k (and also in some other programs like BeyondTV)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Globespan\Parameters\ivac15\Driver]

"SharpnessValue"=dword:00000007 (min value = 0, max = 7)

Note : There are more filtersettings that can improve the quality, like the image noise reduction settings, but the current default values are pretty good and to make it not to complex I won’t futher explain them here. But if you want look under the same key for “FltDnrMod�e, “FltDnrSpatFltLevel� and “FltDnrTempFltLevel� and try it out).

Note 2: You need to reboot before the setting take effect.

Thanks ascully vbmenu_register("postmenu_105139", true);

I'm on Windows XP SP1 and none of them values exist on my system!

I'm using the WinTV PVR PCI (which came before the 250/350) which is not supported by BTV (well the hardware 'pvr' functions anyway!)

I'm buying the WinTV PVR 350 today as i need an up-to-date card!


Thanks for taking the time to answer my question anyway!
