I have been reading a howto on myth and they suggest that PAL systems

found a resolution setting like this, is in the recording profiles, and
yes, I need to set them I guess. Given that it is currently set to
480x480 by default, I will see a significant file size increase
won't I?
But also, what about watching live TV, or for that matter watching
delayed live TV from the buffer. Where is the resolution for this set?
I would like to hear peoples opinions on what is the best thing to do
with these settings. Indeed, is 720x576 a good idea at all?
I just stick with the default of 480x480 and it looks great. I havent'
actually tried 720x576 but I may give it a go just to see!
The LiveTV one is set in the Live TV profile I think.
I am trying it now, but the difference is small if anything.
btw: when you make a change like this to a recording profile, even
the Live TV one, do you need to restart the backend and/or frontend?
(I did, just to be sure, but was wondering if it was needed)
Here's an interesting side effect of making that change to the Live TV
profile. I went back to a previously recorded movie I was watching, and
it came up tall and skinny. I had to manually change the aspect ration
from 4:3 to 16:9.
