He he he, then you really miss something, all "good" TV do the same, and
with a nice interpolation, you can get a really good picture ;-))

I think you are still wrong: there are quiete different DVD resolution,
the one you are talking about is for 4:3 one's, (and also some "untrue"
16:9), but you could have more resolution, just play your DVD with
mplayer without xv, and then you seen the exact resolution of your
DVDs...

Yep, but under windows (which I also tried), for me the result wasn't
that good: you have to try under linux!!! But of course you don't get
any more details... just have a look at Gerd Knor xawtv pages about xv
for some informations...

Have a great day,
