Hi,<br><br>I'm trying to figure out what the right recording resolution is for<br>standard definition TV within the US. Also I've noticed that my picture<br>quality isn't nearly as clear as it is watching through just the TV. I
<br>have a PVR 350 and a PVR 500 in my system on all 3 tuners. The<br>recording bitrate is set at 4800 with the max bitrate set at 6000. The<br>picture seems blurry and pixelated to me using both the kernel and bob<br>filter. Anyone have an idea what might cause this poor picture quality
<br>or what I can do in general to make the quality as good as it is when<br>watching the tv straight from the wall? For example what bitrates do<br>you need in order to not loose noticeable quality.<br></blockquote></div>
<br>If you ever want to use mytharchive the answer is 720x480. I originally had it <br>set to 480x480 and switched to 720x480 without changing the bitrate and I do <br>not notice any quality difference but the picture is formatted properly to play
<br>on my dvd player without rescaling. At 720x480 in 2.2GB/hr mode my recordings<br>do not look any different from live tv (analog) on my 36" sony HD tv. <br><br>John<br>
