Thanks. Does that bitrate of 1GB per hour seem correct for a SD
digital broadcast? In reading other posts about digital that just
seemed low to me. Maybe my local comcast office is highly compressing
the bitstream. I get frequent digital reception artifacts on these
captures but I felt that was due to having to sue beta drivers.
