Well, maybe I don't understand what needs to be configured.  I have 2 
profile groups

Hardware DVB Encoders
Transcoders

Under the first one, I changed the 'Default' profile to use MPEG-4 and 
MP3. (because when I looked at the setup for a scheduled recording, it 
was set to use the default.

Under the Transcoders group there are 5

Autodetect from RTjpeg/MPEG4
Autodetect from MPEG2
High Quality
Medium Quality
Low Quality

Does one of these need to be changed too (if so which one)?
