Hi *

Just quick question:

How can I change TV screen size, brightness & contrast on EPIA S-Video ?

Also is there possibility to change quality (bitrate) of liveTV screen on MythTV & PVR250 ?
(I see quite huge difference between liveTV screen quality between MythTV & OS/2 EmperoarTV. On OS/2 is almost DVD quality, but on MythTV it is more like VHS)

look for the recording profiles. there's sections for livetv and recordings. and you can change the bitrates in there, however if you are seeing that big of difference it's usually a bad driver, and/or firmware combination, because the default bitrate is quite high as far as standard deffinition tv goes.

hx for replay,

I'm using latest KnoppMyth, so I'm assuming EPIA CLE266 are latest greatest...
I already went to Recording Profiles/LiveTV, change bitrate to 6M/s.
No noticeable difference

Should I reboot ?

BTW: I understand that LiveTV is using following path (huge approx):
Tuner->SAA7115->ConexantMPEG2encoder->PCI DMA->CLE266 HW MPEG2 dec->VIA1662->S-Video->TV ?.
(only this looks reasonable for making all sophisticated bells&whises which MythTV has ))

Any way - we are probably on good track ;-p

Well,
I spent some time with playing on all those settings. What strange -there is NO any change in liveTV quality.
Am I doing something wrong ?

I don't think you are doing anything wrong it's just that some driver/firmware combinations work better or worse for different cards. Like I said the defaults should be enough to get you a crystal clear picture with standard deffinition. I imagine you will have to start playing around with different ivtv and firmware versions.
