That's probably about the best you can get. You're limited by a) NTSC
(as already discussed) and b) the electronics in the PVR-250. In
theory, it may be possible to get a slightly better picture with a
PVR-150 (it has newer and better electronics), but the amount of
improvement is probably not worth the cost to you. You may find that
you get about the same quality at 4000/6500 or even 4000/5500 (even with
the additional bitrate, the other limitations have probably maxed out
your quality before using the available bits).
I've been recording at 2200/9800 (it never actually uses that headroom,
1 1/3 times average bitrate is more appropriate, but that actually
exists within the range and I was too lazy to change it), and my
recordings looked great on my 27" NTSC piece of junk TV, but I can
definitely see artifacts on my new 67" 1920x1080 DLP. I'm impressed
that it doesn't look worse than it does with the amount of
magnification. However, I haven't changed my bitrate as motivation to
get my HDTV antenna/cabling/amps/splitter/4xHD-3000 rig in place.
(Which I won't be doing tonight. Handing out candy to
trick-or-treaters... :( )
