MythTV Ubuntu 7.04 LiveTV Performance Issues


Hey everyone I just recently installed MythTV on my box. I am running Ubuntu 7.04 on a P4 3.0GHZ 1GB Ram 140GB Drive. I am pretty happy with my setup however the quality of Live TV is not so great. I have adjusted the resolution (i think) in the profiles from 400x400 to 780x400 which did not help much, if it all. On some channels a little green line or bar keeps running at the bottom of the screen. Is there anything else I can to to at least eliminate this green line or make the picture quality better? Thank you.

I think you mean regular analog NTSC television reception. Do you have a TV set with which you can compare the image quality? If image is bad on your TV then it's likely to be bad with any TV card installed on a PC. In that case, you may want to try repositioning your antenna / asking your local TV technician to do it for you if that's what you'd normally do. About this green line... I'm not really sure if this is normal or not, people with TV cards installed in their boxes, preferably the same as yours, may help you further with that... but you can see things like that in a TV set if its image height control is defective/adjusted in such a way that it squeezes the image vertically and the overscan area appears on screen.
