Streaming from receivers to PC

[comfortably_numb]

I've noticed that streaming from a receiver like the Edision or the GTMedia V9 to my computer produces a stream with a lower bitrate than the originating feed. For example, streaming ABC 4:2:2 from 97 or 99 C-band from the Edision looks grainy on the PC. I've tried VLC, PotPlayer, SMPlayer and others and the result is the same. How do I stream the original, high quality TS file from the receiver without transcoding?

PS- my network is gig all around, so I don't think that's the issue.

Somehow it must be transcoding to do this streaming. IF you have no controls buried somewhere to adjust the transcoding streams, you likely can't fix it.

Is the receiver transcoding or the PC?

Must be the receiver.

It's interesting that when you record a TS stream to a flash drive from the receiver(s), the result is uncompressed.
