[mythtv-users] HDTV resolution question

[John Sturgeon]

Hey James,

I'm getting 1080i (540p) just fine on my Hitachi 51S500.  Here is my 
modeline:
        ModeLine     "888x508in540p" 37.3 888 944 1048 1104 508 534 548 
563 +hsync +vsync
 I got it from Jarod's HTDV Output web page.  Works GREAT!

The secret here is running a smaller resolution inside of the 540p mode.

Good Luck
