It's not like hard drive space is expensive and Moore's law will still work. I got a 750Gb external drive for £120 from Maplins a few weeks ago. If you have a HD box that can output SD, then record in HD and playback the HD via the SD output. If your "friend" has got HD, they would watch HD. If the box can't playback in SD, then the friend can't watch it SD or HD. Paul > > -- > Paul Waring > http://www.pwaring.com > - > Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
