Myth Re-visit and HDTV

I have spent a couple of weekends setting up a MC pc .
Running linux & Myth TV on my new pc.
I have played with the following linuxes my favorites first.
OpenSUSE 10.3, Mandriva 2007.1 (old Mandrake user), PCLinuxOS 2007, Fedora 6(hardest to install on my hardware), Ubuntu
I have also tested F.First MythDora (Easer to install than Fedora) works but see note *1.
....Mythbuntu works but see note *1 ...and also knoppmyth which I could not get running,
Note 1. I have been able to record 2 HD channels at the same time one on each winfast DVT1000 T But my mythtv front end will not show HD Channels or play HD recordings,
Have successfully used Windows XP and Winfast software to watch and record HD .
On same PC with the screen downsampled (lower resolution) as using 1024x768 on old vga screen. But before I go out and by a new 26 or 32' LCD display .. with HDMI,VGA and component imputs I would like to know if any one else has got the DVT1000 T's working in high Def on MythTv.
Cheers for any feedback or help / Sugestions
