Yes, though in practice it's very hard to tell the difference. I've
got an LCD monitor that I use with both VGA and DVI-D with (switching
between several times a day) and I doubt I could accurately pick
between them.

I'm not, that's why I say it could be the fault of the MythTV setup
(on the DVB-S side). I'm still watching DVD's via a Sony player
connected to the TV via component, which is very good quality-wise.

I'll give it a go once I've upgraded to 0.20. I'd like to use MythTV
for DVDs and will if the quality is reasonable (doesn't have to be as
good as our separate player, but needs to be fairly close).
