I'm not sure if this is something everyone sees or if nobody else has complained, but all the channels I'm getting with Comcast are recording and whenever a 4:3 program/ad comes on, there is a huge white bar at the top of the recording. When I use the cable connected to my TV's digital tuner, it either cuts this off or doesn't have this problem at all. It's hard to give an example without putting a big recording up, and the JPEG compression kills the effect the lines have on the video, but here are a few screenshots- the first showing a normal picture, the second two being commercials during the same recording.

If it is, how hard would it be to have MythTV detect the line to automatically switch to the correct aspect ratio and cut these lines off? They are incredibly annoying since they flicker white/black on one side, and I'd like to have a correctly stretched picture since burn-in is an issue for me. Another thing I found interesting is some of the PVR350 recordings have this same faint line show up every once and a while-almost as if the image was being cropped badly by the broadcaster. I have no other cards that can get QAM, so I don't even know if this is a driver thing but it really doesn't look like it to me. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
