Hello All,

I've recently replaced my ZOTAC IONITX-A-U Atom N330 front end with a
gigabyte mb GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 and GIGABYTE GV-N430OC-1GL

Lot of power to spear and also acts as NAS device for backups.

Video handles 2X advanced with no problems.

However on one OTA HD channel(Channel 2) I get pixelation sometimes.
I've tried most of the combinations of filter options from here -

>From what I've read vdpau is very sensitive to signal noise.  I've
eliminated the cable  by bypassing the current setup and using DVI to
another Samsung LCD display.  Problem stays.

Does anybody have any suggestions about vdpau filters?

The one any only station that appears to be effected is Channel 2 in
Chicago.  Note: This is the only VHF channel left on the dial.  It was
moved from Channel 2 to 12 after the digital conversion, but it's
still VHF.

The other option is to replace my current antenna Winegard 7694P with
Winegard HD-7696P.  Has a much longer boom length and more UHF/VHF
elements.  Guess the problem with this is I don't know if it will fix
pixelation and the aesthetics of the unit itself.
