Picture Quality
Die picture quality by DVB-T depends on the different areas and the different conditions.
Some parameters are important for the picture quality, the bit rates, the resolution and the
reception of the transmitted DVB-T signals.
Bit rate
The bit rates is fixed by the TV broadcaster and can be different between each TV program.
Also the different TV broadcaster define the bit rate different to each others. If you see by
watching DVB-T strong mosaics structures, artefacts or an un sharp picture, than you can
try to increase the Signal strength and Signal quality by searching a better position of the
indoor aerial. Maybe you can try also to change a passive indoor aerial to an active indoor
aerial. But, if you can realizes optimal condition by receiving the DVB-T signals and you
have anymore the artefacts or mosaics structures, than is the transmitted bit rates to low.
In Germany the values are very different by the bit rates:
ZDF
ARD
HR
Private TV Stations
If the bit rate is higher, than the picture quality is mostly better and the picture is more than
less by artefacts or mosaic structures.
Resolution
The second influence by the picture quality is the transmitted resolution. If the resolution is
higher than you can see a more sharper picture. For example:
ARD / ZDF
Other
Receiving Condition
If you see by the information Signal strength and Signal quality some low values, you can try
to find another antenna position to increases the reception quality. Visible indicators for a
worst reception of the DVB-T signals is for example the a freeze picture or the message "No
Signal".
The reception quality depends for example on the kind of the antenna. Three different kind
of antenna are available, the passive and active indoor aerial and the roof antenna. Realign
your indoor aerial in this way, that you get the best reception as possible. Helpfully it to know
in which direction are the public antenna power and than you can adjust the antenna to this
direction.
If a passive indoor aerial can not receive the DVB-T signal strong enough, please try an
active indoor aerial. The best reception results are by the roof antenna possible.
