I'm new to Linux and Mythtv, up until now I've used Windows Media centre. However, I've installed OpenSUSE 11.1 with KDE4 and Mythtv. I've managed to set everything up so far apart from one problem. When I select the option to watch TV I get a split screen effect with two identical pictures one top and one bottom. I can change the scan setting from auto detect and get just one picture filling the screen, however the picture quality is awful.

Thanks for the pointer Chris, I'm pretty much learning as I go along with this. All the hardware details etc are included below.

The signal I'm trying to receive is a Sky digital satellite receiver plugged into the composite input on the TV card.

The computer hardware I'm using is as follows:
