Hmmm... Trying to recall exactly where those settings are. I only used
them during initial setup of the card, so it's been a while...
I believe you'll locate this under mythtv-setup, but if not, check the
setup section of mythfrontend, look for 'playback' under 'TV
settings', it might be found there instead.
Either way, what you're looking for are the recording profiles. This
is where you tell MythTV what resolution to capture at depending upon
the recording profile in use. Since I use a PVR-500, I've set all of
my recording profiles to 720x480.
I think that someone recently posted that this should not be necessary
with the newest ivtv drivers...
