After MythTV goes funny on a digital capture try this: 1. stop the mythbackend 2. test the same digital channel with mplayer. If it doesn't play OK, maybe mythtv did some funny driver configuration (I doubt it). 3. use mplayer to playback the video files MythTV just recorded (my MythTV setup dumps them under /var/video I suspect you have a MythTV ATSC/MPEG2 decoding problem. BTW, to get 1080i to display on my 1024x768 monitor, I always end up doing something like this with mplayer: $ mplayer dvb://WFOO-DT -cache 8192 -vf scale=960:540 Which scales the 1920x1080 down to 1/4 the original size in software.
