My box only gives me stuff on the HD channels. Might do others if I tweaked
the settings on the box to do 480p for standard-def programming, but its just
not worth it to me. I prefer to have the cable box dedicated to capturing
only HD programming, and let a PVR-x50 handle analog recordings (which
primarily amounts to kids shows anymore, I record just about everything in HD
now).
