I use it only in analog mode through mythtv. The wiki at mythtv.org points to this:
http://sray.squidpower.com/2009/02/18/hauppauge-wintv-hvr-1950-on-linux-mythbuntu-mythtv-analog-digital-video-including-s-video-and-composite-inputs/
which has this to say about the resolution.
5. (if the video looks really bad in mythfrontend):
1. Utilities/Setup
2. Setup
3. TV Settings
4. Recording Profiles
5. MPEG-2 Encoders (PVR-x50, PVR-500)
6. for Live TV, Default, High Quality, Low Quality
1. Change Width to 720
2. Change Height to 480
So I think other people knew about the bug, but were fine with the workaround.
