Last week, I bought a new LG 42 inches HDTV whose native resolution is 1920x1080. I decided to get rid of my old CRT TV that I often used my old D-Link 1000 VP so I hooked up my VP with my new HDTV.

Last Sunday night my friend called me on VP and we chatted. About 30 minutes later, the screen became badly pixelated. I tried to do my best to get around it and so far I have not had any luck.

So I wonder if it is any way to solve this problem. Or both new HDTV and VP are incompatible? Thanks for your help in advance.
 
Maybe the download/upload speed settings on your videophone need to be changed.

Okay I will try it.

I have another HDTV with a less resolution so I can try my VP with it.
 
before messing with upload/download settings, have you always had this problem? when you are connected with call, whose video is worse? yours or them? then what is the fps setting the the video that is worse? does your internet provider put a cap on your bandwidth? did you run speedtest?

If the WHOLE video pixelated, not just the you/them boxes, did you select mode on tv remote to use sidebar or something similar so you are not using the widescreen mode?

the person you were connected to, do they have the same dvc1000 VP too or what were they using?

Alot of unknowns and questions I have here as there are too many variables. you switched the tv, you state the video got worse throughout the call, you didnt state you tried to hang up and call again, you havent mentioned if same thing happens with other people vp's?

As for poweron comment with vp on gaint hdtv, why wouldnt you recommend it? its been done sucessfully with no issues.

It is the first time that I have faced this kind of problem.

I have had no issue with the speed, bandwidth and other issues that you mentioned above.

If the WHOLE video pixelated, not just the you/them boxes, did you select mode on tv remote to use sidebar or something similar so you are not using the widescreen mode?

No, not the whole screen. Just chat screen.

I am using the standard mode.

My friend was using VP-200 when it happened.

I did hang up and made a call more two times. No change.

because during the solution, which videophone outlet provide only 480i in sore eyes on the huge display. Again, I wouldn't recommend it.

Yup, I agree with you and playing PS3 game in 480i on giant 60" HDTV is fucking eyesore and hardly acceptable to be playable.

I'm talking about experimental purpose, not use for real time to play the game so I gave a example about connect any device that use 480i on giant HDTV.

I use my PS3 to 60" 1080p HDTV via HDMI cable too and sometime on 32" 720p HDTV with component cable (RGB) because of HDMI port failure on my old HDTV.

I have 42" LCD for ~4 years with 1080p. You can change resolution to 480i at your LCD for VP200 only and you still use 1080p for other device(s) as directv, blu-ray, computer, etc.

No need because VP will trigger 480i mode on HDTV if use composite or S-Video cable.

Ohh I dont see that part about bad pixel after 30 minutes.

Go to Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test and if both are over 256kb down/up without problem then time to replace a new router. The most bad routers cause pixel after long time are most common.
