This might be way off, but if there's no Xv, Myth will need to do<br>software scaling, right? Could it be that it takes more effort to<br>scale the SD resolution (which would be something like 720x480) up to<br>1920x1080 than to (decode HD + scale to 1080) ?</blockquote>

<div>He could probably easily test this by using the controls in Myth to provide different playback resolutions depending on the content so that SD is scaled to 720x480 or something closer to the capture resolution and HD is presented at the native resolution. The HDTV should be able to compensate for the change.</div>
