Cannot get a good picture with Panasonic DMR-Ex78

[nafta]

I have a Panasonic DMR-Ex78 connected via HDMI cable to full HD ready tv and yet the picture quality is not good. What Am I doing wrong? Can it be that the HDMI Cable is nt good enough? Also when I watch TV through the panasonic..after a while if I press the guide button it changes to another ext????

Please help!

Much appreciated!!

I suspect there is nothing wrong with your system.

The source of the picture is what matters.
Live Freeview through a DVDR will always be inferior in comparison with freeview from a TV's tuner because of artefacting introduced by the presence of the encoder.

To judge the quality either use recorded freeview or DVD sources.
To watch live TV, use the TV's tuner.... NOT the tuner on the DVDR.
