[mythtv-users] setting capture size

[Mike Schrag]

Thanks for the info ... Unfortunately, yeah, this is a PVR250.  I did 
find the screen and changed it to 640 x 480, but every time I save the 
settings it goes back to 480x480.  I then went and updated directly in 
the DB and restarted and it still decides to capture at 480x480.

As far as the looking goofy part, it essentially looks "squished" 
vertically -- it stretches the 480 out to be 640 wide... I'm not sure if 
this is the 250 driver or mythtv doing this, so I'll post this on the 
devel mailing list.

Thanks again
