It definitely appears to be an xvideo problem - playing a file  
through 'mplayer -vo xv' looks just as bad. However, 'mplayer -vo gl'  
looks fine. Does anyone know how to change the xvideo settings to  
make them look OK with the i810 driver, or how to get mythtv to use  
gl? (I tried changing to the VESA driver, which was OK picture but  
far too slow for use).

Thanks,

Tom
