<div>Yeah, I figured that out after a little while. Then I saw it changing the frequency when playing some of my mythvideos. I originally thought "separate video modes" meant changing resolutions. It's all good now.</div>

<div>If I get a 240Hz TV will it make mythtv's playback of my 25Hz video smoother? I figured it would look the same since it can't seem to keep up at 60Hz. Maybe you're saying that a new TV will support a 25Hz refresh rate?</div></div></div>
