<DIV><SPAN class=493160119-21032008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, i'm using the
pvr-500 in my mythbox, and I get a few hd channels via my cable box.
Currently, i record those channels and get nice and useless black bars at
the top and bottom of the mpeg files. Does anyone know how to remove that? I
know it's only an SD recording, but sometimes, there are some good shows on hd
only channels. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=493160119-21032008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to remove the
bars, then transcode my recordings, or have the bars removed in the
transcoding.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=493160119-21032008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm pretty sure that
my cable box does not send the bars with the composite signal, because when i
plug the composite cable into my tv directly, the black bars are now gray
bars.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
