I may be mistaken, but I thought Steve tried simply copying a FreeviewHD
recording onto a USB stick and plugging that into the TV. In that case the
format is exactly the same as what came off the satellite - MythTV doesn't
do anything too it. I suppose it could be that the TV supports a different
list of formats for USB/DNLA than it does for broadcast.

Cheers,
Steve
