[QUOTE="m0deth, post: 137825, member: 28342"] Ok, the "digital" channels, if part of any package beyond basic, may not tune in on any available tuner. most do the standard 125 cable chans or so for US market. The OTA HD chans should record natively with a decent HD tuner just fine, some QAM chans work fine with a few tuners over cable as well, but, dont count on the stability of that due to Cable's natural ability to screw up a good thing for the customer. I have COX here....and get the "expanded" basic channels in just fine, SciFi and other high chans look downright horrible due to their compression of analog b4 sending now....mmmm, recompressed nasty analog over cable.....yay I love paying for that. Sorry, I digress As of now, there seems to still be a big wait for Cable Card tuners, and they require Vista to work anyway, and even then....they can now stop you from recording true HD to disk, when/if they choose. kinda feels like TiVo eh? Now that's not to say that you can't record, people find ways,...I'm just not up on how, I'm waiting for FiOS tv myself, and internet for that matter, we'll see what i can get to work in MP after that. :/ It wouldn't be MP's fault either, ....it's where we live.
