It just comes out the firewire cable, from the HD stations like TNTHD,
etc... if it isn't HD, it sure does a very good impression of it.
Most of the SD shows are less than 1G/hr, the HD shows are usually
7G/hr.  This also jives with what my air2pc cards put out in HD.

I think cable is so varied and based on what hardware they give you
and where you are, it could be possible other places are like you say.
 Maybe even other people in my area, who knows.
