[mythtv-users] PVR-350 TVout vs. Live TV A/B comparison

[Mike Morris]

Hi,

I'm curious if others with a PVR350 have done A/B comparisons between 
recorded and live tv.  When I do a split screen with Myth on one side and 
live tv on the other (same channel, myth side is delayed a few seconds 
obviously), the myth / PVR output is slightly darker, and noticeably less 
sharp. I've never seen the same video source live side by side with an mpeg 
encoded / decoded version, so I want to make sure the level of degradation 
is normal.

My configuration is:  Motorola DCT-2200 cable box RF output directly into 
TV;  DCT-2200 composite video out into the S-Video in of the PVR using the 
supplied adapter.  S-video output from the PVR to S-video input on the TV.

Just wondering if my results are comparable with others, or if there is any 
way to improve the picture quality. Or maybe I should just be happy I have 
the TVout on the PVR working perfectly. :)

Thanks!
