Sigh, Its been awhile since i did a full fresh mythtv setup. Grumble. Main problem solved, ivtv bug confirmed: - image quality is now good, bad image quality was caused by scaling to 480x480 (I've never understood this low default setting in myth. Changing that to PAL full format, and i had good image. Next setting the bitrate to some sensible quality and image quality became good.) As usual, once an ivtv parameter is set, it remains set until you reboot the card (hard power off). So for ivtv the scaling problem is still to be solved. (not that i personally care too much, i never scale down. HDD space is cheap, and on bigger screens you want to have high quality recordings).
