Hi,

I thought that you always get half of the output you set, so 10 MBit/s /
2 = 5 MBit/s is IMHO not enough. I think most of the (at least german)
channels use a variable bit rate with a peak > 4 Mbit/s. When editing
for DVD, I even found a peak on a recording from ZDF with 7 MBit/s.
But I will check this (if I find the correct settings).

Works great, just switching the channel takes some time and it currently
does not support features like fullscreen mode, hardware deinterlacing
etc. But it´s enough for watching TV in the background :-).
