And, note that Myth will scale the image to fit within the screen.  So, 
even though you have SDTV that you recorded at 720x480, when you play it 
back in Myth, it will be scaled according to the MythTV settings (i.e. 
usually full screen, but it could be GUI size).  You made a comment 
about switching to 480i so an SDTV show would take up the whole screen, 
but this is unnecessary since Myth scales the SDTV to full 
screen--whatever resolution that is.
