I just got a new HDTV, 16x9 aspect ratio. I want to start recording in HD on the PVR, it's a 3GHZ with 1gig of RAM, so it should be more than adequate after I add more disk. The video card in my PVR has an analog video out that I currently take and feed into a video modulator with audio, which feeds it onto the antenna cable that feeds the house on channel 3. This is all analog, and not even close to HD of course. So I need to do a few things.
1. I need to get an ATSC HD capable tuner card or two for recording
2. I need to figure out how to get a 16x9 HD signal out of the PVR machine and into the TV, which is approximately 100 feet away from the PVR machine. This is two parts, getting a 16x9 aspect ratio on the PVR machine, and getting that signal in HD and out to the TV.
Recommendations on tuner cards would be appreciated. ATSC US only please. The second one is where I'm most stuck though. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. I'm somewhat of a newbie to the digital TV/HD/16x9 aspect ratio stuff. I've been around and into TV for a long time (dad worked at a TV station), but this is my first foray into anything beyond traditional analog TV.
Thanks for your help!
