I'm just trying to figure out what the advantage of the new digital-tuner recorders are. Is it only if you're getting your signal OTA and not through cable?

Thanks very much for the quick reply, Tulpa.
I just really felt like I was missing something and wanted to make sure I wasn't being dense.
So I guess I'll stick with my Pioneer and just use it to record through the cable box. (Actually, I'll probably get the cable DVR box and use the Pioneer to offload/edit stuff I want to save on DVD)
Thanks again for clarifying it for me.

Now, what does it mean? That the signal coming in is not evenly passed through, depending on frequency. Well, that is subject to capacitance, no? So, you end up with some sort of mesh of caps that each attenuate a lot and pass through a specific band of frequencies better. So, the combination of them as you step through the frequency varies the passthrough effect, right? That explains the curve, but not the curve doing the Loch Ness Monster Mash... yes? Is that what you are saying?
Kinda neat to see this kind of stuff. Just got a 'real' scope that can see video/chroma signals in my broken TV, now just have to trace to see where it goes away...

But do start making a habit of buying 8x-speed DVD-R from online suppliers: the 8x is so much easier on recorder burners than 16x it isn't funny.

In post #809 above , Olyteddy says this about your RF traces:Quote:

To answer the question, nothing. This is a closed circuit that is measuring the response of a active circuit. All of that is of no bearing what so ever.Yes to both. If it was stationary, it would be one thing, but to have it 'pulsate' is another. That is where I'm at a loss.

Separate question regarding aspect choices:
I have found 1080p and enhanced contrast gives me the best image (especially chroma response). Problem is, the lack of choices I have in the TV when viewing a 4x3 recording. There is no 'Narrow' mode available except when outputing at 480p. There is no way I can watch the proper 4x3 ratio unless I revert back to 480p out of the recorder. Watching a regular 16x9 DVD is no problem since it is at the proper aspect ratio in the first place.
Is there any work around for this?
