[mythtv-users] PVR-250 and S-Video?

[Justin Tan]

I got it to work, for some reason it always defaults to tuner, but I
hit 'C' while watching TV and it switches to Svideo.  Surprisingly the
video isn't any better, I expected the quality to be much higher. 
Could it be the cable i'm using?  I'm using a standard svideo cable..
nothing special.  Will it make that much of a difference?

Lastly how do I get it to take the sound from the line in?  When I
switch to svideo, it doesn't have sound.  Or if I could take sound
from the tuner but video from svideo that'd be easy too cuz it's all
already hooked up.
