[mythtv-users] V4L video capture image poor

[Paul Wilson]

I'm using a DVB-T hybrid pci card (DNTV pro) and the Composite stream, 
my video stream is pretty poor , ie I'm getting un refreshed artefacts 
"blocks" all over the screen
ie where there is no movement it seems to be no refreshing that part of 
the image.

Note I get a pretty good picture with TVTIME but not with MythTV.
Is there something I can do do clean up the image?
