I have good news, bad news, and worse news.  The good news is that I managed to get MythTV working well enough that it now plays standard definition channels better than the cable box alone, even though it's getting its signal from the cable output of the cable box.  I get this benefit because MythTV allows me to tweak various parameters that you can't change on the cable box.   The bad news is that high definition channels still look worse through MythTV than they do if I watch then directly from the cable box.  I don't expect to solve this problem. The cable box may be able to handle HDTV itself, but it outputs a digital signal in 480p, which is basically standard definition. The fact that I have two HDTV-capable tuner cards does me little good.  Here's the worse news. I had to learn way too much to get this far.

The two-month-old writers strike took a significant toll on the âPeopleâs Choice Awardsâ on Tuesday as the taped, scaled-down version of the awards show on CBS lost nearly half its audience compared with a year ago, attracting just 6 million viewers from 9 to 11 p.m., Nielsen reported. A year ago, the showâs live broadcast averaged 11.3 million. For the night, CBS ranked third overall, trailing second-place Fox with its all-repeat lineup. NBC finished first, leading every hour of the night among adults 18 to 49 with a two-hour episode of âThe Biggest Loserâ (10.2 million), followed by âLaw & Order: Special Victims Unitâ at 10 (15.2 million). CW delivered its best Tuesday ratings since March thanks to âOne Tree Hill,â which averaged 3.5 million viewers from 8 to 10 in its fifth-season debut. ABC trailed CW in last place among adults 18 to 49.

LOS ANGELES - An estimated 14 million viewers watched the triumphs of HBO's "The Sopranos" and "Angels in America" on the Emmy Awards Sunday night on ABC - an alarmingly low number for what is supposed to be television's big night.    If those preliminary Nielsen Media Research numbers hold up, that would represent the smallest audience for the Emmys since 12.3 million saw it in 1990 on Fox - at the time a new network that many people weren't used to seeking out...
