I am guessing you are using WinTV-HVR-1600 or similar The following quote is straight from the product's webpage. "Digital ATSC HD TV features ATSC over-the-air digital TV receiver built-in. Supports all ATSC formats, up to the high definition 1080i format! Record ATSC digital TV to your PC's hard disk using high quality MPEG-2. TV recordings will typically consume 5 Gb of disk space per hour for ATSC high definition." http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hvr1600.html Sincerely, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
