[mythtv-users] Lousy picture quality on normal TV

[Rob Willett]

Quoting myself... very dodgy...shows I'm cracking up!

Would a PVR-350 be a better option for picture quality to a Scart socket based
TV or am I wasting my money? I could buy a TV with a S-Video socket but that's
even more expensive.
