I've tried to do my best to follow all these forums and poked around at CES and all, but I still can't find the answer to a simple question.
What is the best way to record HDTV with a PVR?
Here are the drawbacks of everything I've looked into. If anyone can offer corrections or updated info, or steer me in another direction, I'd appreciate it.
DISH 921
> OTA signals not in channel guide
LG 3410A
> Can't record and playback at the same time
HD-TIVO
> Not available yet
> DirecTV doesn't have enough HD content
VOOM
> PVR not available yet
> Doesn't carry even Sci-fi channel, would have to get cable and then couldn't use program guide to record
SA8000HD
>Time Warner reports won't be available until August 04
> Mixed reviews on picture quality on this board
D-VHS
> No interest in messing with VHS tapes anymore
Amazing that I've got money to spend but I can't find a simple timeshifting HD PVR that will satisfy my most basic needs. I'm not even concerned with a DVI or firewire, as I don't archive programs.
If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know! Maybe I'm missing something here.
