This shouldn't make a difference with DVB (unlike a hardware capture card) as the stream is recorded 'as is', unless the profile is trying to resize the live video on-the-fly to a non-native resolution. I would use verbose logging output on the frontend and see if there are any useful messages whilst watching live tv. You should see with DVB stream info in the log, so that might show something.
