So do you store two copies of everything (SD and HD), or convert on the fly? Some other solution?

I have an old one-lung Athlon machine with a 5700 video card running a MythDora5 FE/BE, it's a very nice SD "appliance", 
so well debugged that it just runs. I'd feel comfortable turning it over to any non-technical user (but I won't). A nice 
bedroom machine, better by far than any Tivo, and no reason to ever touch it except to operate it.


But I wouldn't buy anything today that was not HD-capable.
