Joshua, The 16:9 programs recorded in HD, how do you play them on analog TV (4:3) ? Do they play with black bars on top and bottom (just like watching DVDs on a 4:3 TV) ?
Also, if I connect frontend to an HDTV (which has 16:9 aspect ratio .. Panny DLP) using svideo, will I see the HD program in 16:9 (if its recorded in native 16:9, say CSI, etc). Ofcourse, the quality will be downres'd to svideo, but is the 16:9 aspect ratio still preserved ? My main goal is to watch the HD programs in their native mode but sacrifice the HD quality right now. Once I've figured out what I need in the HD-frontend, I'll switch to HD output. But I still want to jump on the HD bandwagon. (It'll be better than watching taped shows on a vcr getting signals from a rooftop analog antenna ! the vcr is connected to a panny DLP tv .. talk about waste of resources !!!!)
