It actually uses the same stream. The difference is just that it uses different mplayer options. With the original options the playback can be a bit jittery and mplayer complains about slow CPU, so I changed them a bit to speed things up, but at the expense of picture quality.

To go back to the original settings, edit the script using nano (or some other editor):
Code:
nano -w /home/user/tvcatchup.sh
The options are on line 5. To get better picture quality but slower playback, remove "-lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=all". MPlayer has lots of options, so you may want to experiment with them to see what gives the right balance between speed and picture quality.
