Hooched Drive .. Mode 0 instructions?

[andyjenkins]

Hi all,
I've just reinstalled my new 300GB drve after hooching the drive - so far all well and good and she's currently indexing (forgot how long this process takes).

Anyway, I'd like to enable Mode 0 (new LCD TV you see), and understand whilst Hooch provides the ability to enable Mode 0, it does not enable mode 0 itself.

So .. does anyone have the instructions specific to a Hooch'ed drive for enabling Mode 0 ?

Hi Andy - Have sent you an email :)

Thanks Steve .. appriciate it. Will check it out when I get home tonight.

Have to say, watching Live TV did'nt seem to result in any horrible picture, and I'm struggline to see how Mode 0 would fix. Does Mode 0 only improve the picture of *recorded* programmes ?

I guess you're lucky then - maybe your LCD TV has a decent inbuilt scaler, unlike most :up:

Mode 0 improves Live TV and recordings alike. In addition to increased resolution it has better, cleaner colours and doesn't suffer from the red/green colour bleed of Mode 4 (normal best), so you might as well give it a try. The difference is quite noticeable on large CRT TVs and plasmas and also on smaller LCDs.

While watching live tv, press "aux" and see the difference in quality.
Aux bypasses tivo so you see the "raw" picture.

Difference was very marked and annoying on my 37" LCD as standard,
With mode 0 I'm hard pressed to tell the difference between aux and live-tv.

Oh, me too please, if that's possible.
I bought HOOCH from you a month or 2 ago, great program by the way, and have never enabled mode 0, as I was not aware how to do it.
Thanks

So is mode 0 instructions not in hooch? Do I have to send emails off?
I'm thinking of replacing the original drive so would be interested in going mode 0 when I buy hooch next payday.
