OTA and PQ increase with 211

[keng52]

I've noticed that my picture quality and OTA reception is better with the 211 than the 6000 I replaced. Anyone else noticed this? The pixelation and dropouts on my locals hardly happens now. I could hardly watch Lost on my 6000.

I can't comment on the 6000 or even the 211 OTA tuner, but I prior to my 411 (which I am now upgrading to 622) I used the USDTV OTA ATSC tuner, the 411 appears to be leaps and bounds better.

I wonder how different the 411 is from the 211?

The 211 and the 411 should be identical in this case. The 211 is the 411 with an ethernet port added. I am not aware of any additional hardware component changes and would be suprised if there were some.

My 411 is a definite increase on PQ over my 6000. I'm very happy with it... and have only lost the video twice.

The PQ on my 211 versus my 811 is dramatically better. For 1080i content, I have lost the vertical jaggies that I used to get on my 811. Colors and contrast also seem dramatically more vibrant (in a good way).

Also, as for the OTA tuner, all of my stations are on average 10% higher signal and tune much faster. No more pausing on 49% for a bit when I change a channel while it has to "think" about tuning.

The 211 has a much faster interface than the 811 as well, channels change faster, everything is faster probably due to a better processor.
