So if I have this device: http://www.plextor.com/english/products/tv402u.htm, I can record standard def cable tv, over usb 2.0, in mpeg4 (with mpeg2 coming soon)? If this is so, that is too damn cool. I'll have to dust off the old laptop and play around with it. I prefer mpeg2, so that I can burn directly to dvd in as little steps as possible. The model I saw on the website (http://www.plextor.com/english/products/ConvertX2.htm) does not have the tuner (from what I can tell). Sorry about that... Josh
