A while back I switched to HD/Digital tuners because SD reception here is so terrible. I don't have the same amount of HD/digital channels available but the channels I don't have were hard to watch in SD because of static anyways.
<br><br>The main problem with this is I want to go wireless (802.11n) to several front ends and I'd like to use an Apple TV as a front end. I have exhausted my time and efforts trying to get HD to stream over wireless.
<br>The second problem is hard drive space, I know space is cheap these days, but my 250 G of space gets eaten alive by 8 - 24 gig files.<br><br>On the up side we never watch live tv except recently during tornado watches.
<br><br>Now to my question:<br>Can anyone point me to the right information to setup to autotranscode HD programing down to SD?<br><br>I am guessing here: tell me what is right and what is wrong or if I can't do it.<br>
turn on Enable auto-transcode after recording<br>then under Transcoders<br>which one do I configure?<br>then resize video while transcoding<br>what size? The monitor is set to 800x600 but I don't think that would make the video smaller.
<br>it defaults to 480 x 480 does this sound correct?<br>which codec should I use?<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
