Re: Finally......
said by KrK  :I've got a replayTV.  Also hackable. It originally had a 40GB drive in there, but I changed it out some time ago to a 250GB. I love it's commercial auto-skipping feature, but it's getting long in the tooth now and has no support for HD. While it doesn't have support for HD, if you hook an HD tuner or HD cable box into the ReplayTv via Svideo and record an HD downconverted source(the highest quality input the ReplayTv will take is SVideo), and then play back the dvr with the progressive 480p option, the video quality looks equal to watching a DVD in progressive scan.
While not HD, it's good enough... |

| Ummmmmmmmmmm, no. 480p is no better than 480i. You might as well gouge my eyes out and tell me I'm looking at a Rembrandt.
This is why HD hasn't taken off as well as it should. People get an "HDTV" and still feed it crappy sources. And they say is looks great.
There is a stark difference in NTSC and ATSC. |

... | Maybe 480p than 480i isn't better on a LCD but on a CRT it is.
But recorded 480i converted to 480p is same crap. (Garbage in, garbage out.)
