I record at 720x480 @ 7000 kbps now. I showsqueeze it down to 720x480 @ 2500 kbps. That puts me right at 1Gb/hour for the final file.
I output at the full 720x480 that SDTV can do.
Yes, the settings for resolution are in the webadmin under advanced settings, Recording qualities.
My Earlier machine I recorded at 576x330 @ 4000 kbps. you might want to try that and see how the playback looks. The issue that kept me from higher data rates was not the TV tuner since it was a hardware encoder, but when I tried to play the file back it would stutter, on a better machine the file worked fine.

You know actually, I don't bother with showsqueeze usually just because I have so much diskspace and I don't usually get below 20 hours of free recording. Do you change the bitrate via webadmin or something? I changed the quality from "Best (DVD)" to "Good (DVD)" I believe and it did seem to produce much smoother playback. I record a lot of F1 and sports car racing on Speed Channel and there's nothing more annoying than cars flying past the screen in a choppy fashion!!
