out what others are using so I know what to buy so I can avoid getting something that won’t work.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

it is called) and the HD-PVR (which I am finding on NewEgg) is using a 5 cable R/G/B & R/W) (whatever it is called). I really have no interest in recording protected content, but I cannot even get an idea of how much TV is protected. If all of it, the HDMI
is useless. Yet it’s the only standard. Which means I am really blocked.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
