Alan,

I believe that the mythbackend log tells you the resolution of a
channel when you switch to that channel. Try this:

1. Start mythbackend

2. # tail -f /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log

3. Run mythfrontend, watch live TV and change channels

4. Watch the output of 2 for the resolution of a channel as you switch to it
