I imagine that if the transmitter changed it, that may
result in a reduction in quality, especially since they
are working with less bandwidth these days. That would
mean reducing the quality for everybody to satisfy a few
NVidia users.</div>

Thanks for the update. It is interesting that they somehow think it
is a silicondust problem, but anybody using mpeg2 would be affected.
With MythTV, we are able to use ffmpeg software decoding (if we set
an appropriate number of threads) without any adverse effect. I
notice that others report that kodi with software decoding is
unacceptable on the shield. They must not be using ffmpeg for
software decoding, or maybe are only using one thread.<br>
