I didnt know HD came in as MPG!

So the people who are having trouble with single streams--it's because they're having to encode on the fly...

in parallel.  Even if one stream was 5Mb/s, that is only 640KB/s.  Not
really that intensive.  Even my single 80G ATA drive gets ~15MB/s

...or they have really seirous I/O problems.

So, the whole "you need X resources for each stream" doesn't really apply to HDTV, then. Int'resting. Wait, HDTV OTA, that is. If I hook up via S-Video (or composite or whatever) to get HD off my cable box...?
