Only slightly better?  You're doing pretty well.  Many people report
the rendering of SDTV recordings onto an HDTV via pvr-250 -> computer
output to be dreadful in comparison.  There was a thread just 2 days
ago on this.

This is an odd set of modes for a Samsung DLP.  While none of us have
been able to get 1920x1080i to work with the FX 5200 over DVI, why
are you not using 1280x720p or something similar?
