Currently I have a 40" Samsung series 7 TV with built in Freeview. But Freeview is c**p at present here and so I have a PC ( 18 month old good gaming spec) with a freesat card linked to the TV. We use Windows Media Centre to play music display our piccies and watch TV and iplayer/4OD etc. We rarely use the PC for anything else (browsing etc). However, even with a reasonable PC the image is poor, particularly with black. So we get a lot of ghosting. I now need that PC elsewhere and have to replace either with a dedicated HTPC or a Freesat PVR. But will a HTPC still have a poor image compared to a HD freesat box?
Anyone have a HTPC setup and could comment on its quality?
