I am getting a blurry picture on my TV out when watching live tv or recordings. They look better when I watch them on my monitor. The GUI seems to look good, but I don't have anything to compare it to, like live tv. I'm running R5A30.2 with a Nvidia Geforce FX 5200.
I am not very familliar with XF86 configs. I copied this XF86Config-4 from another post. I commented out the 800x600 mode lines, but for some reason I still come up in 800x600 mode. I can toggle between 800x600 and 640x480. I can see this happening in my X log file. Can someone tell me why I'm still getting 800x600 when the modelines are commented out?
Here is my XF86Config-4 file.

To get the best display on a tv I would recomend using an HD input, DVI or componit but, if you don't have the inputs then s-video will work. Either way you will want to make sure you are using a deinterlacer. You can change the deinterlacer settings in the mythtv playback settings menu.
You will need to make changes to your screen section to change the resolution to 640 X 480 only. Look below
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultColorDepth 24
###since the default color depth is 24 we need to look at that section
SubSection "Display"
Depth 1
Modes "800x600" "640x480" "800x600@60" "640x480@60"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 4
Modes "800x600" "640x480" "800x600@60" "640x480@60"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "800x600" "640x480" "800x600@60" "640x480@60"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 15
Modes "800x600" "640x480" "800x600@60" "640x480@60"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480" "800x600@60" "640x480@60"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "800x600" "640x480" "800x600@60" "640x480@60"
EndSubSection
###As you can see you have four modes listed. Remove everithing ###except what you want ie 640X480
SubSection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "800x600" "640x480" "800x600@60" "640x480@60"
EndSubSection

Also, depending on what you're seeing and calling "blurry," it could be the fact that TV out from almost all video cards deinterlaces the video from the computer, then sends out re-interlaced video from the S-video or composite outputs.
So it's possible that your interlaced MPEG2 recordings could get deinterlaced in software (if you have picked a deinterlaced setting in Playback settings), then resized (if you don't pick 640x480 like the previous poster suggests), then deinterlaced/reinterlaced (by the video out).
This is why people still try to get the PVR-350's video out working even with all of its hassles: it has an MPEG2 decoder that preserves the original recording's interlacing on the 350's video out. There are a lot of other problems, but playback of MPEG2 recordings is as good as it gets.
I'd agree with datobin1: next TV you get, make sure it's got a DVI or even VGA input and avoid TV-out entirely.

OK, I did not know what the modes lines were for. I was also unaware of the default 24 bit color depth. Is there a reason 32 bit color depth is not used? I assume it is a bang for the buck issue.
Should I even be using 640x480 or can I get a better picture using 800x600?
Why would I want a XF86Config-4 file with multiple screen sizes and mode lines for myth?
Is this code what you had in mind?
Code: Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultColorDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "640x480" "640x480@60"
EndSubSection
EndSection
I guess I did not have to delete all the lines that I did. 24 is the DefaultColorDepth. Can/does something else change the color depth later.
Why does the Modes line have both 640x480 and 640x480@60. This seems redunant.
I know I sound like I 5 year old asking all these questions, but I'm realy trying to understand it.
Thanks

there is an issue with 32 bit. I Forgot what it is but, a quick search will tell ya.
Now I should have mentioned in my last post that modes listed in the screen section are just "tags" to identify the modelines in the Monitor section.
If you look at your screen section below you will see you have two "tags" listed "640X480" and "640X480@60". If you look at the monitor section below, you have two Modelines that are not commented out and they match the "tags" listed in the screen section. You can make the "tags" whatever you want as long is it matches it will work.
Since your current config has two it will default to the first listed. So when you start myth It will see the "640X480" listed in the screen section and look for it in the monitor section and use the Modeline "640X480". If you never need the other modeline you can comment out the "640X480@60" both in the screen section and Monitor section.

Bob doesn't seem to work well for me at all.
I switched to using the XF86Config-4.nvidia-tvout.sample file included with knoppmyth. It seems to work better for me than the one I grabbed from this forum. The .8 overscan setting seems to set my screen just right, with no tweaking in the GUI.
When I enable Deinterlace using Bob, the screen gets jumpy.
I watch a news channel as my test. The text scrolling across the bottom looks blurry and a little jumpy. With deinterlacing set to "one field" or "linear blend" it is somewhat better, but nowhere near the quality that comes from the cable, and that is not the best quality to begin with.
I must be missing something basic. I can't belive this is normal.

Does the refresh rate for your tv standard match the refresh rate of your modeline? NTSC=60hz PAL=5oHz.

Also follow the other advice in that thread Greg linked to about dialing down your flicker filter as low as you can, while keeping a stable picture. This will improve the sharpness considerably.
BTW - mschlott - I've made this request to more newbies than I can count... Even if you're paranoid about providing a location in your profile, PLEASE at least provide a TV standard. Even "location: PAL" will let us give you better answers. Take a minute right now to click on this link: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/profile.ph ... ditprofile and provide that extra bit of info. You could even summarize your hardware so that when you ask about something rleated to hat all you need to do is attach your signature. like this:

When I enable bob, the menus loose their color and flicker.
I can lower the flicker filter to 1 without any noticable problems.
Whoah!!!! Hold it. I get it, If I enable the bob filter and lower the flicker filter to 1 at the same time, my menus look normal again.
Now the text scrolling at the bottom of the screen looks better, but not as good as the source. My menus are a little jittery,
If I enable XvMC it looks a little better but any time an OSD comes on, the picture goes crazy, flikering and jumping.
I still don't think I have a great picture. It doesn't hurt to look at any more but, it is not what I would expect.
Thanks for your help.

In the XF86Config-4 I would:
- turn off the sw_cursor
- remove any mode lines you're not using
- experiment with other mode lines for the resolutions you are using.
- push the default color depth to 24
- comment out the DRI section
- Make sure your module section has the right gl selections for your card Using nvidia-settings I would: - enable opengl SyncToVBlank (there are about 3 of these)

Thanks. Will try this when I get back home. I'm working double shifts these days. 9 hours at my paid job. 8 to 10 more, playing with myth. 
Are the "opengl SyncToVBlank" settings in nvidia-settings related to the TV Playback setting that says something about opengl vertical sync?

I've commented out every entry for modes or modeline in my XF86Config-4 file that is not for 800x600 or 640x480. I see a lot of output in my XFree86.log like the ones below that are not in my config file. Where do these come from?
Code: (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "928x696" (width too large for virtual si
ze)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "896x672" (width too large for virtual si
ze)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "832x624" (width too large for virtual si
ze)
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "700x525" (not a valid TV mode)
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "700x525" (not a valid TV mode)
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "640x512" (not a valid TV mode)
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "640x512" (not a valid TV mode)
I also ran mkxf86config which showed the following. Code: Video is (yet) unknown card, using XFree86(vesa) Server
Monitor is Generic Monitor, H:28.0-96.0kHz, V:50.0-75.0Hz
Using Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" I used this information to build the following lines in the XF86Config-4 file. Code: VendorName "Generic Monitor"
ModelName "None"
HorizSync 28 - 96 # mkxf86config probed
VertRefresh 50 - 75 # mkxf86config probed
Now after restarting gdm I see the lines below in the XFree86.log. Code: (**) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes for display device TV-0:
(**) NVIDIA(0): Mode "800x600": 49.5 MHz, 46.9 kHz, 75.0 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Mode "640x480": 31.5 MHz, 37.5 kHz, 75.0 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Mode "800x600": 50.0 MHz, 48.1 kHz, 72.2 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Mode "800x600": 40.0 MHz, 37.9 kHz, 60.3 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Mode "640x480": 25.2 MHz, 32.1 kHz, 63.1 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "400x300": 24.8 MHz, 46.9 kHz, 75.1 Hz (D)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "400x300": 25.0 MHz, 48.1 kHz, 72.2 Hz (D)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "400x300": 20.0 MHz, 37.9 kHz, 60.3 Hz (D)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "400x300": 18.0 MHz, 35.2 kHz, 56.3 Hz (D)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "320x240": 15.8 MHz, 37.5 kHz, 75.0 Hz (D)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "320x240": 15.8 MHz, 37.9 kHz, 72.8 Hz (D)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "320x240": 12.6 MHz, 31.5 kHz, 60.1 Hz (D)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 800 x 600
(==) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (75, 75)
Again I don't know where the non 800x600 and 640x480 modes came from. When I hit ctrl atl + and ctrl alt - the screen appears to toggle between 2 modes. 800x600 and 640x480. I dont know which though. I only see this in the log file. Should I name each mode something unique, like 800x600@72.2? Code: (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "640x480"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "800x600"
I have also commented out sw_cusor, the DRI settings and set the default color to 24.
I'm not sure of the right gl modules for my card. I have a nvidia fx 5200. If I run xf86config it puts in GLcore, which I have commented out.
I'll keep playing with settings.

I have (Had) exactly the same problem.
I;m running,
Mythtv R5A30.2
Hauppauge 150Mce
GeForce FX5200
Semperon 2200
1gb DDR Ram.
n install of the original R5A30 install i had exactly the same blurry issue.
After working for three days on and off through it i found that following the Wiki method of upgrading the IvyTV drivers instantly solved the problem.
From that i changed my XF86Config-4 to reduce the resolution down to 640x480 and commented out all other lines in the screen sections.
I also use this comment in my config-4
DisplaySize 271 204 # 75 DPI @ 640x480
which relates to the menu fonts resolution.
From this i use the S-video out to my composite in on my Television. This has solved all of my visual problem. Like you i'm running the Linear Deinterlacing method. Bob was just too choppy.
Sorry its not a lot of detail to follow, but use the wiki to upgrade the Ivy drivers first as that was the problem for me, then make sure if you're using composite in that you use 640x480 as that is the s-video out resolution on the 5200 form what i have read.
