Forgive me if this has already been asked and answered before, but Ive searched this forum as well as several others, and the web in general, and can't seem to find an answer to this question.
After building a HTPC for myself a few months ago, my father has been 'amazed' by mine for a while now and called me the other day, asking that I build him one. Now my father is quite picky about his auido/video - I on the other hand, am not.
The Question:
I've been looking at the PVR-150 to put in his new box, but my father watches a lot of sporting events here in Canada, and most sporting events are broadcast at 60 fields per second. My concern is, since the PVR encodes everything onchip even with straight TV watching, will his sporting events be displayed at regular NTSC framerates? (29.97) If so, then that wont work, he'll complain that its like watching a movie with bad frame rate. (which i can also see the difference like he does to tell you the truth)
This is the only thing holding me back from starting the purchasing/building stage right now. can anyone with a pvr-150 series card or one of its brothers tell me how sporting events or other full field programs are displayed on the card? I'd like to do everything through Mediaportal like I have on my box, but I personally could care less if my sports are only 30 fields per second. 8)
Thank you for any insight.
