I have just recently bought an HDPVR - wished I had known they would be on sale - everything is working fine. I have a PVR 250 as well currently on the same feed for SD shows from directv. Both the hdpvr and pvr 250 are in the same recording group. My question is, should I just record everything on component to the hdpvr or keep the current configuration. What are other users doing? How will the quality/size be of sd recordings compare to that of the pvr 250 recorded in 480i through s-video? I have my directv box set to ouput 720p which is the resolution of my hdtv.<br>
Thanks for any advice.<br>

The quality is perhaps not quite as good but I think it's good enough. I only have two channels I watch that aren't available in HD (comedy central and BBC America).<br>
