  I may be wrong, but I've read the 1024x1024 limit is in the TV encoder chip and thus only applies to the s-video and composite output... since neither of these connnections can handle HD it doesn't matter. I use the VGA connection and get a true 1280x720 and also have tried 1360x768. Also, since I'm running X at the 1280x720 resolution, mythTV should be downsizing the 1080 to this size no??
  Does myth try to set a new video mode based on the channel format? If it were to work this way (doubt it), there should be an option to disable it.
  I might try a 1024x576 or 960x540 modeline (gotta stay widescreen) for giggles, but i want this working in 720.
   
  I'm more concerned with the sound issue at the moment though, I tried using mplayer to directly play the dvb channel, even with -novideo the sound is still choppy.
   
  Where can I see a log from mythfrontend to look for any clues?
