I've played with settings a lot, and I've found I can't really tell a
difference between 640x480 and 320x480. I record at MPEG4 320x480 4400
bitrate. This gives me quality inline with a regular cable connection
and takes about 1Gig per hour of recording. Watching LiveTV uses about
33% of my Athlon XP 2000. This leaves me plenty of processor for a
second recording. Watchin Live TV and Recording anoth Show uses about
75% processor. When I watch TV, Record and Play a movie on a remote
front end, I'm pretty much max out my CPU.
Also worth noting is that I have my Live TV buffering on a separate disk
from my record TV storage.
My system is Athlon XP 2000+, 256 DDR, 80G 8MB Cache ATA133, 40G 2MB
Cache ATA 100

Hi All,
I have a fairly middle of the range JVC TV set that will be my ultimate
display for my Myth box. I wanted to get some thoughts on what the
optimum
capture resolution would be, being that TV is the main viewing
platform. My PVR 250 can do up to 720x480 but I have a feeling anything
over 400-ish is probably overkill because I won't see it on the TV.
Thoughts?
-Jeff
