</div>For any channel, there are at least three variables that determine<br>
which tuner can be used:<br>
<br>
1) CCI/5C<br>
2) Encryption<br>
3) Resolution<br>
<br>
For unencrypted channels, I can record these with my HDHR, regardless<br>
of CCI or resolution. For CCI copy freely channels, I can record<br>
these (soon) with the HDHR Prime, or via firewire, or possibly via an<br>
HDPVR (if I had one, which I don't). If they're SD channels I can<br>
record them via my PVR150 and an SD STB. If they're HD channels, I<br>
can still record them with the PVR150, but I need an HD STB to do the<br>
down-scaling first.<br>
<br>
Keeping track of which channels are in which states at which points in<br>
time is almost a full time job at the moment, and I haven't even<br>
mentioned maintaining the HDHR frequency/program id tables.<br>
