Hauppauge 2250 and media mvp

[jorm]

I am looking at upgrading my Hauppuage 250's to a 2250 so I don't have to pay for cable anymore and can do ATSC recordings over the air. I have about 6 Media MVPs will the recordings of the 2250 (I don't care about the high def but want the digital tuner) be incompatible with the Media MVP?

I know the media mvp can not handle the high def .ts files but can it still record to standard def?

If no has anyone played with transcoding the recording back to a compatible form?

Hi Jorm.

Unfortunately the ATSC recordings are not well suited to MVP. GB-PVR does digital recordings of the original bit stream (encoded by broadcaster), which often contains high definition video and/or AC3 audio, neither of which the MVP understands. If you want to stick the MVP clients, you should be able to configure it to transcode post-recording back to a compatible standard definition format. Alternatively, newer clients like the Popcorn Hour provide the same sort of function as the MVP, but can handle high definition and AC3 without the need for transcoding.
