I turned Sharpess all the way down and added the denoise3d filter and it looks much better. I haven't tried upping the bit rate yet, hopefully that helps more.

How does the picture on my Tivo look so good with the same signal and no tweaking for so little money?

Thanks for everybody's suggestions.

Yes, this happens.  I am not sure of the cause yet.  The HDTV is "too sharp"
and you see all sorts of mpeg artifacts on the screen, but it looks much
better on a regular TV with TV-out.

Some suggestions to play with:
    a) Turn off all the stupid "edge enhancer" and "sharpening" found in
    many HDTVs.   They are treating the mpeg artifacts as real things and
    enhancing them.

    b) If nothing else works, plug the svideo into your hdtv and see how
    that does.   It would mean, annoyingly, you would have to switch
    inputs (and change resolutions with randr) to watch SDTV shows.

    c) And yes, record at even more than 4500 bps

    d) Finally, consider trying some smoothing filters on the myth
    filter page.   Unfortunately, I don't know if you can yet configure
    different filters for different resolutions, since you definitely don't
    want those filters on your HD content.
