[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 273099, member: 50013"] In a previous version of MP there were various options that could be set up for analog recording. Now I'm not sure if this is only relevant to software encoding cards ( [url=http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/UserGuides/SW-Cards_setup]UserGuides/SW-Cards setup - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation[/url] ) but there were various options to change resolution, aspect ratio etc. I'm experimenting with recording from a Freesat box using a hardware encoding card (HVR-1300).
