So buy an ATSC converter intended for televisions and go on using your DVR which will likely quite happily accept the signal from the converter and record it, then play it back in glorious NTSC. If you wait, you can even get coupons likely to be worth $40-$50 to apply to the purchase of two different converters. The same technique can be applied to VCRs, old televisions and whatever other electronics you possess which rely on NTSC. February 2009 isn't the end of the world. The downside is that you won't have the same video quality that others get, but considering what there is to watch, I'm not sure seeing acne scars and the like on folks who are supposedly beautiful is that much of a benefit. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
