I ordered 3 total mag 254s.. I let my friend get 1 and I got 2.. my friend hooked his up.. and I hooked 1 of mine up..my friend says his quality looks like a dvd player is playing.. mine is the total opposite.. mine is less than 720p.. but my tv is a 1080 smart tv 48 in samsung.. I tried all of the video settings on the mag . And the quality looks like it would If u was to squinch your eyes to watch a normal tv.. any suggestions? I tried all of the video settings even tried switching tvs in my house.. tried rebooting.. now I'm stuck..

Some channels are not all that good some quite good find most News channels good and the HD i.e. TSN, VEVO some movies like Sony are good but depends on the data they are using.

Ok..they all look great in the small window. But soon as I open up the screen the quality goes bad. Most of the news channels have bad quality.. the better quality channels are mostly the sport channels that I don't watch.. thanks anyway

even when i tried switching tvs to a 55 inch it wasnt good quality either.. u can see the grains in the picture.. i was thinking maybe it was a setting that im not aware of..is it certain channels that u know that i shouldnt have an issue with so i could test it?

Please, take your MAG and go to your friend. Connect your MAG to his TV and compare. Is it the same "good" quality of both boxes?

you seem to have your op as 480 NTSC 4:3 . you need to switch to 720p
its in the INTERNAL PORTAL ..
the fact you have got a HDMI lead connected dont mean it is 720p

good idea epapress that was going to be my next step.. im going to hook up the 3rd box this weekend to see what it looks like.. my settings is at 1080i in the settings.. i tried all of the resolution settings .. my tv will reject the low quality settings . when i put the mag on a lower quality setting my tv will tell me that the device reolution doent match up with the tv.. and no picture will show at all.. after it did that i had to take the mag to another tv and put it back on the 1080i settings.. i ave tried also the 1080p setting.. it isnt better

before i ordered these mags i had another friend that came to the house to show me his mag.. thats who introduce me to fta and mag... his mag quality didnt go past 720p and it was super terrible at my house .. mine shows better than his did..some channels are better than others but most channels look like a bootlegged dvd that u buy on the streets
