My main reason for mythtv is to be able to record and play television<br>programmes which otherwise I would miss. I have an old television set<br>(about 8 years old) and a new DVD player. When I play recordings that I<br>
have made the quality is not as good as I want. There are frequent,<br>random, small rectangles of various colours occurring. I am using DVD-R<br>blanks. Oddly enough, when I play a recording on a combined<br>television/DVD player, probably about 2 years old, results are
<br>excellent.<br><br>Thus I have a need to seek out the problem with my set up of new DVD<br>player and old television. Are the defects I am seeing due to the old<br>television set or the new DVD player.</blockquote><div>
<br>It's not the old TV. It may be that you are having problems with your recording hardware or your DVDs are not readable by your dvd player.<br><br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I would appreciate any suggestions<br>that may be forthcoming.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>What card are you using to capture the video? How many times are you reusing the dvds?<br><br>John<br>
