When capturing HD, all it needs to do is move the MPEG-4 TS from the coax to the disk. HD is that simple to record (its much more complex to *play* it!). Analog is a different beast. It needs to be converted to digital in order to store it directly to the hard drive. Without a hardware endcoder on the card (or in the box), it consumes CPU cycles. Does the HD-PVR have an analog MPEG encoder? I know the PVR cards do. I don't know about this box. > (then you hit "play" on the vcr, wait, hit Ctrl-C on the above :) > > The only catch is it doesn't seem to like working with 5.1 sound (VLC, > not the HDPVR). Mine is hooked up to stereo inputs instead. -- Kevin J.
