Try increasing the Bit Rate and Max. Bit Rate. Those will contribute to graininess (aka. artifacts). Therein lies one of the trade-offs. Graininess v. file size/processor load. Now that I think about it, the graininess you describe could be considered lack of grain. Consider a sand painting (very little compression), to a painting made with croutons (lots of compression).

I built my first myth system this past summer.  It really is the
greatest thing since sliced bread...don't know how we lived with
commercials until now!!!

Now that my wife and I are getting used to it, thought, we've noticed
that the picture quality isn't *quite* the same as live tv.  I've
tried increasing the resolutions in setup, but it doesn't seem to
change the slightly grainy appearance of the tv.  Any thoughts?  My
system specs are:

1Ghz Athalon processor
2 Hauppauge PVR-250's
Geforce 4 MX w/S-Video out

Thanks,
Andy
