[mythtv-users] Resolution for PAL analgue TV

[Lachlan McIntosh]

I use 480x480 for my analogue card.

I've found myth/drivers to be unstable at any other resolution - i.e.
you get crashes in the backend and eventually you have to reboot.

My DVB card records at whatever resolution the signal is transmitted at,
so usually 720x576.



Thanks
Lachlan McIntosh
