Replay TV technical FAQs.............. replaytv.com Excerpt: <<15. How good is ReplayTV video quality? ReplayTV uses the MPEG 2 compression system which allows a range of video quality settings. The ReplayTV compression rates are user adjustable from the default setting of 2Mbps (megabits per second) to 6Mbps. All storage times are calculated based on the default setting of 2 Mbps.

The default rate can be easily changed by controlling the ReplayTV on-screen menus. >>
