Slingplayer and skyfire low quality

So I finally upgraded to the Touch Pro from the ppc6800.

First thing I did was install skyfire and slingmobile but sadly both these apps seem to be in really low quality. The touch pro has an amazing screen but for some reason these two apps looked better on my mogul.

any tips to fix this?

On my treo it looks real good also, on the diamond and the tp it looks like the cleartype doesnt go into effect. on my treo i can get it to look like that if i turn my cleartype off.

Skyfire doesnt look as good as opera does however slingbox looks the same as it did on my 6700 except landscape looks better on TP.

On my TP Slingbox never runs smooth. It actually runs better on my GF's Mogul.

I don't know just what you guys are doing to your TP, but My SlingBoxes works great on my TP. I average around 330 Kbps, although I have extra added VP6, H264 codecs in the SlingPlayer Mobile directory, the video resolution quality is just awesome, works like a charm.

Wait, you can add 3rd party codecs to the SlingPlayer??? Hmm never knew that, does it make the video smoother or what? I set mine manually to 350kbps@full frame rate, full screen is watchable and okay (GDI off though).
