<div>If you are not hdd space constrained, and depending on your CPU, it shouldn't matter if the recording is downscaled to SD. I have a frontend connected to a non HD TV playing recordings from a HD Homerun.</div>
<div>It looks really good and do not have any issues... (keep in mind that HD Homerun only tunes OTA HD and Clear QAM).<br><br> </div>

<br>Currently, I don't have any TV's that can display HD. My current<br>system uses a PVR-350 hooked up to a digital converter box and IR<br>blaster. I'm very happy with end result.<br><br>For the new system, I'd like to have a "native" HD card, but I want to<br>
be able to playback on my non-HD sets without transcoding after<br>capture. Is there a HD card that is supported by MythTV that can do<br>real-time downscaling to SD resolution, similar to my digital<br>converter box?<br>
<br>On a (very low) budget, are there any things in-particular people<br>would like to see covered, either hardware, process, software, or<br>content wise? I've already got a rough idea in mind for my plans, but<br>I'd love some input on what others want to see.<br>
<br>End result on MythPVR.com will be somewhat similar to the following,<br>which is the box I plan to replace:<br><a href="http://www.mythpvr.com/mythtv/hardware/low-power-mythtv-server.html">http://www.mythpvr.com/mythtv/hardware/low-power-mythtv-server.html</a><br>
<br>Thanks for any input, I'd hate to do the external digital converted<br>option if something else makes more sense.<br><br>-Pete<br>MythPVR.com<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br>
