Only a few weeks ago I was introduced to my first WinTV-PVR-150... then GBPVR, to be followed by a second PVR-150 and a MediaMVP.
My MVP has composite out, S-video out, audio L+R, and SPDIF (which seems to be undocumented). I have a standard TV set (USA, NTSC) and have a network cable run between the computer and living room.
I subscribe to standard cable. (non-digital)
-----
My question is... if I where to purchase a plasma hi-def television, how would my system change?
It sounds like I would need to subscribe to digital cable to get a hi-def signal, and then my 150's would need to each be connected their own cable boxes via S-video with the IR blaster, in order to record. If this is true, sounds like it would make more sense to just get the cable company's two tuner DVR leave it at that.
... So, if anybody is running a hi-def plasma with their MVP, would like to know how it's setup and working.
