A better description of the "garbage" you're seeing would make it easier for us to help you identify the problem and for us to recommend solutions.

and it was recommended that the crop filter be used. I am using a PVR 250 card which I understand uses hardware encoding. MPEG2. The instruction for video filters indicates that the crop filter can not be used for hardware encoding cards.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on how to get rid of the garbage. Can the crop tool be used? If so, how is it installed?

You could always use playback filters. Unfortunately, though, you'll have to keep setting them before playing back VHS recordings and unsetting them before playing back other recordings. http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-10.html#ss10.4

If you're trying to fix it to archive your video, use something like avidemux to crop and apply other filters after recording. (Note, however, that you'll almost definitely have A/V sync issues if you don't use something like ProjectX to clean up the stream before using avidemux.)
