[mythtv-users] Quality of recordings degraded

[John OKeefe]

I am not sure which IVTV version I am using. Is there an easy way to check?
I am using whatever versions comes with the latest KnoppMyth distribution.

I will try the line you mentioned below. Do I need to run that line only
once or every time the problem occurs? Do I need to add that line to a boot
up script so it runs anytime the system is rebooted or does running that
command once make the change permanent?

What does the line do by the way?

Thank you for the help!
