cr*p!  Reread and this is where i was mislead, "Two hours of HD
recordings, recorded at 5 Mbits/sec, can be burnt onto a standard 4.7
GByte DVD-R or DVD-RW disk for playback on a Blu-ray DVD player."


You're right, it seems to export the live stream via USB?

But, noticed this within the Specs:
"Note: the playback of high definition H.264 requires a fast CPU and at
least 256MB of graphics memory"

Is the only difference between the two newly released ATSC recorders,
one exports MPEG2 and the other exports h.264 (aka MPEG-4 AVC)?  (Also
noting the additional connectors for in & out processing.)


Guess I'll have to wait awhile to see the results of recording on lower
processor platforms.
