Can you record an HD Broadcast in HD?

[Lukather]

Do any of you experts know the answer to this question? I hear there is a TIVO & HD receiver built into one unit.....anyone know the details of this.

Thank you very much,

Dish Network has a PVR model 921 that has a hard drive recorder and an HDTV receiver built together in the same box. With this unit, you can store HDTV broadcasts.

5.1 sound?

[JonUrban]

It receives and decodes DD 5.1, but I don't think it records that way. I will have to check.

I think it does record 5.1...

Even my normal TIVO does that.

What about D-VHS?

[BGLeduc]

There is an HD Tivo slated for April release, but it is OTA and D* only.

There is also a OTA HD recorder by Zenith, IIRC.

As was mentioned, there are D-VHS machines, but they require a firewire connection from an OTA decoder box. And lastly, there is a company called 169time that will add a firewire port to an existing HD Sat box to allow recording on a D-VHS machine.

If you have a PC, this card is available.

Actually there are several HDTV cards out there for the PC that allow a connection via firewire to a D-VHS recorder. They can also copy the unmanipulated mpeg2 stream straight to a (very large) hard drive for later playback.
