What kind of capture card are you using, and what kind of video card? Is
your display a TV or a computer monitor?

ATI TV Wonder (not the VE), Geforce 2 MX400 64mb using NVidia binary drivers.
Display on the monitor. Basically Xawtv looks great when using the TV
Wonder's tuner, in Mythtv it looks blech (highly technical term <bwg>). OTOH,
viewing composite1 input on either xawtv or mythtv looks equally good.
