reducing the sharpness would just make the text blurry and faces of people like its out of focus. The motion blur settings I think is called Judder Reduction on my TV, it also didnt do anything
Content on Youtube looks alot better
How blurry? I have my sharpness set to 50. Having it at 100 is not a good idea.
Itās not going to be crystal clear sharp because itās 1080p, but should still be eligible at least.
Also are you pixel peeping (sitting right in front of the screen) or is it still clearly incorrect from a sitting distance?

Sitting from like 3-4 metres away
I see.
Well there isnāt much else I can say to help unfortunately.
Like I mentioned, it could be the bitrate from the networks which is making the content look weird or blocky in fast moving spots.
If the problem is only with FTA content then I doubt something is wrong with the actual TV.
Perhaps check settings for any firmware updates or even check the antenna cable.

My Samsung tv that I just replaced was only a 4k base-level model I think it was MU somthingā¦ Anyway, I found the picture quality quite good for what it was. I only experienced what youāre talking about when I got a fetch and ran the fetch 4k enhancer. Thatās where I would have issues, not the 4k tv itself.

So the Signal Strength is now at 94%, Signal Quality at 100%. Just boosted up randomly overnight. The picture is definitely a lot better now. So I guess it was the Signal that was affecting the picture. Thank you

Does LCD/LED/OLED look worse compared to plasma?
I remember 7HD looking very good on a Philips Ambilight back when it was a breakaway channel.
Depending on the quality of panel - OLED is above Plasma, typical cheaper LEDs are below Plasma - of course for FHD content though.
High end LEDs (such as Mini-LED) would be above Plasma too.
I previously had a 2018 QLED from Samsung and it definitely didnāt look as good as Plasma - brightness was better, but overall quality was worseā¦

@JacobA glad you resolved the issue.

I have a Sony KD-55X7000D in the family room, as the main TV, so the channel order on the TV itself is via the multiplex. I will also post my TV channel list on the DTV Channel Names thread.
Formatting of my list, is via a @Zampakid post on the DTV Channel Names thread, in December 2022.

Canāt edit my own post, but LCN 3 on my TV is definitely SBS ONE HD after I customised the TV listing.

Anyone got some leads on some good indoor antennas? Keen to get back into FTA without streaming it.

To be honest, they donāt work well unless you have a good line of sight out (so up on a hill or upstairs),ā¦ or live right near the transmitter.

Iām currently staying in Port Macquarie, and Iāve noticed that I get the 7/7HD Coffs Harbour and 10/10HD Coffs Harbour channels, instead of 7 Taree and 10 Taree-Port Macquarie. 9 is still under āNine Mid North Coast and 9HD Mid North Coastā.

Yes, some areas of Port (in the CBD, near the breakwall and Settlement City) seem to get better Coffs reception.

Makes sense. I presume they get the Mt Moombil transmission in those areas.

With a simulcast on 7 HD and 7Mate HD the bit rates were almost identical in metro areas.

Comparing WINās new bitrates to Nineās tonight with sport on 5 channels - 9, 9HD, 9Gem, 9GemHD and 9Go!
| 9 | SD | 2.6 | Mpeg 2 |
| 90 | HD | 4.3 | Mpeg 4 |
| 91 | SD | 2.6 | Mpeg 2 |
| 92 | 9Gem SD | 2.5 | Mpeg 2 |
| 93 | 9Go | 2.5 | Mpeg 2 |
| 94 | 9Life | 2.0 | Mpeg 2 |
| 95 | 9Gem HD | 4.1 | Mpeg 4 |
| 96 | Rush | 2.0 | Mpeg 2 |
| 97 | Extra | 1.4 | Mpeg 2 |
The WIN HD picture quality is noticeably better than Nines two HD channels. Nine really need to consider dumping 9Gem SD and switching some channels to MPEG4.
This is 9Go! picture quality

Thatās an old aerial - chimney mount with the ribbon 300 ohm cable still attached and waving in the breeze (newer installation in the background). Amazing that the design could probably get decent reception. (House in on Location cubed and in Frankston).

Havenāt seen an antenna quite like that one before, looks optimised for Channels 0 and 2, rather than 7 and 9?
