I have been running the display at<br>
1024x768 but it seems like the image is slightly softer. I am not sure<br>
what mythtv does when my screen resolution is at 1024x768 but my<br>
output from the card is set to HD480i. Is it upscaling all of my<br>
recordings to 1024x768 and then the card is outputting an analog<br>
version of that? Or is the card downscaling it back to 640x480 because<br>
it knows it is a 480i output?</blockquote><div><br>I believe that Myth is scaling your recordings up to 1024x768 and then the card is scaling them down to 480i. That would be the source of your quality drop.<br><br></div>

I am aware of and do have an Xvnc server running which allows me start<br>
a session with a higher resolution for vnc connections, but I find<br>
that I frequently want to quickly do something in the current session<br>
that is on my TV rather than starting a 2nd session over vnc.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Two other options would be to run a second X server at a higher resolution on a different virtual terminal (so you can just hit ctrl alt Fx to switch between them) or to just define a second, higher resolution in your X config and use ctrl alt + and ctrl alt - to switch it as necessary.<br>
