Sounds like this is a known problem with Hauppauge products. The thread is SageTv but sure sounds familiar:<br><br><a href="http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18826">http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18826</a><br>

</div></div>I don't know about the HVR-1600 but with the PVR cards that use the<br>
ivtv drivers you can adjust those settings in the actual recordings by<br>
going to live tv and hitting the 'G' key (I think) and it will let you<br>
cycle through various picture quality settings for the ivtv drivers.<br>
If you aren't recording analog then this is irrelevant. As for you<br>
nvidia-settings they aren't normally restored after reboot. I thought<br>
in mythbuntu they had it setup to restore the nvidia-settings at boot.<br>
Check the file /usr/share/mythbuntu/session.sh. Mine has the<br>
following:<br>
<br>
#if nvidia settings are saved and nvidia drivers installed, load them<br>
if [ -x /usr/bin/nvidia-settings ] && [ -f ~/.nvidia-settings-rc ]; then<br>
nvidia-settings -l<br>
fi<br>
<br>
I am not where this file gets called from, but I am pretty sure that<br>
mythbuntu is setup to run that script at boot. You may want to check<br>
and make sure that .nvidia-settings-rc is being saved in your home<br>
directory. It is saved there automatically when you exit<br>
nvidia-settings. Make sure that you are running nvidia-settings as<br>
the same user that is logged in and starts mythtv.<br>
