ION for HD LiveTV

[gurabli]

Hi,
I'm about to get an ION 330 (I know its old, but still good), and I have some questions to you who use live tv with an ION board, please help me!

1) is ION able to run HD channels fine? Is the image quality nice and fine and not jerky or anything?
2) what deinterlacing are you using with ION for HD channels and how good they perform?
3) compared to a SetTopBox, does it gives better quality for HD channels or the same?

Many thanks!

I have an ASRock ION 330HT HTPC and it seems to be able to handle live tv just fine (over the air, 1080). The image quality is identical to using the antenna directly into my tv. I do have it slightly over clocked, though. The one issue I had was that it would sometimes overheat causing the video to look jerky unless I turned the fan to its highest setting. As for deinterlacing, I don't know, the default openlelec setting looked fine and I haven't messed with them. Hope this helps!
