</div></div>ahhh, awesome. pre-ordered it then!<br>

<br>
</div></blockquote></div><br></div></div>So, what codec / wrapper / etc will the recorded shows be in? I assume they won't be H.264? Will they be the same as my current HDHR recordings from QAM - What is that, MPEG-2? If so, that will be nice since my iMac FE can't handle H.264 but it does ok with my HDHR recordings.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br></div></div>The PRIME does not encode anything. The PRIME is responsible for the following:<br><br>1) Verify you have access to channel.<br>2) Tune the channel.<br>3) Decrypt that channel stream via the CableCard.<br>
4) If stream is marked copy-once:<br> a) If requesting software is CableLabs certified, re-encrypt stream.<br> b) Otherwise, go no further. The stream is inaccessible.<br>4) Pass unaltered stream (encrypted or not) to the requesting software.<br>
<br>As you can see, at no point is the encoding anything. The video stream is unaltered from what was sent by the cable co.<br><br>The question really is: In what codec / wrapper / etc will the cable co send the shows?
