Sweet.  I am totally jealous dude.

Indeed.  But I would want it to look exactly like it did on the original
broadcast.

Yech.  Yeah.  Good thing I am not interested in that.  :-)

Blech.

So, when you going into production with your transcoders?  :-)

Seems ATI sells a DVI->component converter for their 8500 and 9xxx cards
for $29.  Perhaps that is the way to go.  That should work with an SDTV
with component video connections no?  Maybe cheaper than the cheapest
vidcard you would want to buy and then an additional U$129 for the Audio
whatsitcalled thingy I posted about earlier.
