    Just received my e-mail Pinnacle newsletter with this "new?" product. Check it out: http://www.pinnaclesys.com/docloader_n.asp?doclink=/newsletters/october/flash.html&templ=62&fam=1097

    Seems like a neat concept, but are there similar products out there? One thing I would like to do is this: There is almost no DVR's out there that record HDTV. Say if I had a satellite/terestrial HDTV receiver like the Samsung SIR TS160 (check this out! http://www.samsungusa.com/cgi-bin/nabc/product/b2c_product_detail.jsp?eUser=&prod_id=SIRTS160X%2fXAA could I record a High Def image to the hard disk of my computer? And if so, what equipment would I need? New capture card, etc?

    Interesting to think that our PC's could be the "hub" of our home entertainment needs rather than a number of seperate devices?
    You create your own reality. Interested in media servers and HTPC? Can we talk?

    Not yet you can't. But for terrestrial HDTV you could buy a PCI card to record the stream to your drive. There are a few aroung, and a few threads about it too, The MyHD MDP-100 or the newer model, WinTV HD, and a couple of others.

    Actually, I think I'm wrong. For the European systems I think you can get a card that will do HD satellite decoding, and cable too.
