I recently became interested in the JVC 30K, but I don't have a FireWire HDTV tuner.
Does anyone make an HD recorder that simply connects to the terrestrial antenna coaxial cable, and plays back over a similar connector?
This would require a basic HDTV tuner to demodulate the broadcast signal, and an HDTV modulator to recreate the signal (low-level, of course), but would be compatible with all HDTV sets and tuners. This seems so obvious that I cannot believe it isn't available, except that I have noticed that nobody is making HDTV modulator chip sets while there are many cheap HDTV demodulators.
Photos of the JVC 30K rear panel show antenna connections, but all the reading I've done implies that these are purely for analog recording. If HDTV signals were available on this output, it seems someone would have mentioned it.
Comments welcome.
