More that the options for bitrate, resolution, etc. should be removed. The transcode option should stay. I have 2 Air2PC cards and record shows at HDTV resolution, but don't have a frontend (yet) that's powerful enough to display the recordings. So, I've done some work recently on mythtranscode which allows me to transcode down those recordings to something that will play on my slower frontends. Then when I get around to upgrading my frontends to something more powerful, I can turn off transcoding if I want and watch the recordings in all their glory. Right now I'm still enjoying the benefits of digital even though I spend a bit of CPU converting the recordings down to a lower resolution MPEG4 nuppel file. -- Chris
