The law allows us to record broadcast or cable TV in the US as much as I care to as long as it's for personal use, even if I break copy protection in the process.  YMMV for Canada.

It only does composite out so I figure I can pick up a PVR-150 to capture from the DCT exclusively and work out the channel-change and recording priorities for the handful of channels worth getting from digital. Does that sound right?

It's a Motorola DCX3200-M single-tuner HD box for $138 that will get a dozen or so HD channels from the plan that I'm paying for already.
