I have looked at these various pages in the wiki but the information on http://tinyurl.com/goneaxk APPEARS to indicate that one can independently vary TV  and Audio qualities. It has now occurred to me that this page is open to misinterpretation and that the TV mode chosen and the Radio mode chosen and used together in the "Recording" tab of the Web PVR are not combined and are really only applicable to the individual streams (either radio or TV).

If it can be misinterpreted then I'm the person who will do so :-(
