And at the lower-than-Full-D1 resolution that TiVo uses (TTBOMK, 352x480 
on basic/medium, 480x480 on high, and 544x480 on best--but I'm guessing 
with the file size your talking about, you're talking about basic or at 
most medium).

If you have a low bitrate and a high resolution, you'll get a terrible 
picture.  Same with a high bitrate and a low resolution.  They need to 
be well-matched.
