Outstanding mate!

No other words, there are tweaks in the menus you have to apply to get the best out of SD picture quality but HD quality is excellent.

Thanks to sloggo for the guide.

You see some differences noe on NAB 12 but youll be able to work them out

This is both for DM800 and DM8000
After many and many tests this is my final conclusion about to have the maximum image quality in DM8xx with SD and HD channels.
This is only my opinion and the best result in SD & HD channels quality image with my DM800 and DM8000 and my tv.
But i suggest to you to test because it is for me the best configuration.

PREAMBLE:
First of all we have to consider that progressive mode is better than interlaced mode.
The best default setting is 720p and not 1080i. We will use autoresolution plugin to have 1080i on the HD channels that use that resolution, but the default config have to be in progressive mode to have a best stable image in vertical refresh, in scrolling titles and in image fluidity.
Second of all we have to consider that to have a good image quality in SD channels we have to use the autoresolution plugin to force the dreambox to use resolution of 576p on SD channels that is the best way to have a good image quality. We will try to force the 576 interlaced mode to work in 576 progressive mode because this is the best result.

PROCEDURE:
Because the autoresolution plugin needed an enigma restart to have the correct default value we have to:

1) go in menu -> setup -> system -> av/settings
use the settings like in shot n.1 and save
2) restart enigma2
3) go in menu -> setup -> system -> autoresolution
use the settings like in shot n.2 and save
4) restart enigma2 and enjoy !!

Thanks for the input

Got black screen on my DM800-nabilo BH 08 configured as it's said.
Maybe it's only for higher BH versions.
I really expected to enjoy the results on my box as for me the picture is not that good.

so out of the box not that good,but can be adjusted in menues,thanks

HD out of the box is superb, SD needs a few tweaks particularly when viewing on a 1080p set seems fine on a 720p.

Just my opinion but the above setting need help SD on my 1080p set.

I like it very much, especially football matches in HD are outstanding. Only after 1 week I am already fed up with watching matches in SD quality.
My best result (for HD) is with mode 1080i mode on Gemini by the way! :thum:
