I set it to 720x480 but video came up smaller on the screen then the available space on the screen. The menus filled the screen though. If I change the aspect ratio to 'fill' it does fill the screen and looks ok as well. Perhaps since some of the channels might be lower resolution then 720x480? I'm not really sure how to tell without recording part of it and checking the mpeg file afterwards. <BR>

As many on the list has indicated I too have issues with XVmc -- I switched to libmpeg and really am not seeing much difference in cpu usage! <BR>
