I think what you describe might be possible. The way I would do it is to have a second backend (maybe running on a virtual machine on the original backend). It wouldn't be configured as a slave backend. You would have to use nuvexport to transfer the recordings to the second backend then transcode the recordings down to a resolution the xbox can handle. The xbox would only interface with the virtual machine backend.

<br>Hi,<br><br>I dont know if this is possible or not but it would really be nice if it was.<br><br>I have a main Frontend/Backend that I use to watch HD and SD and it works great. I am thinking about adding anew frontend with an Xbox. I know that the xbox doesnt have the power to play HD but I can think of two alternatives that would work great for me and others i believe.
<br><br>The best option...<br><br>Record the show with my HD card. Then have it automatically transcoded to Xvid HR HDTV keeping the original.<br><br>I know how to set to keep the file myth renames it to .old<br><br>What i would want ideally when I watch the recording with my HD viewer it would play the .old file that has the full res video but when i connect with my xbox it would play the Xvid version.
<br><br>The working but not so good method...<br><br>When i record a show use my analog and HD card to record a show. Then when playing the show i could choose between which show I would like to watch. But how would i set it to record both shows? Create two recordings and set the tuner to the corrisponding version?
