I recently added a 2nd tuner card to my MythTV...when I bring up PIP, the
picture quality of the PIP is very poor. I expect the quality to be along
the lines of the TV Window in the LiveTV Browse Mode (Program Guide with
the TV Picture in upper right corner). Any idea what might be causing
this?
MythTV .013
AMD Athlon 1800+XP
1.5 GB RAM
120MB HDD
Riva TNT Video Card (1024x768 resolution set with Millions of Colors Color
Depth)
NEC LCD Monitor
PVR-350 (no TV Out enabled....VGA connected to monitor)
PVR-250
I checked both Tuner Cards for reception to ensure it wasn't a bad video
capture card, but they both look fine fullscreen. They also look good in
the Live Preview box when scrolling Pre-recorded shows.

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of
the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
