It all worked out quite well however I probably should NOT have gone through the channel scanning routine. My program listing is now liberally sprinkled with a bunch of local origination, home shopping and foreign language channels I don't need to see. When I went to Schedule Direct to manually make the new line up (as required because there is no automated way to do it) I realized that I should have just imported that line-up alone. It would have saved a ton of time as well since the channel scanning routines take quite a while.</span></font></div> <div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span class="723055612-29112008"></span></font> </div> <div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span class="723055612-29112008">Quality is great. Watching HD recordings is a joy. Mythweb has aspect ratio issues with the flash stream but I will try the work-around someone posted a while ago.</span></font></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>Yeah, that feature is just a proof of concept - definitely not ready for general use as you've noticed.</div><div> </div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div> <div><font face="Arial" size="2"><span class="723055612-29112008">I have not yet seen the problem reported in various forums whereby the HDHR requires a power cycle after some random interval.

With the HDHR last in the list the scheduler doesn't seem to want to choose it over the analog cards (and I'm not sure making it first in the list will fix this either). I gave the HDHR a tuner priority of "3" and when setting up a recording tell it to "prefer that tuner" but no joy. I have to set up recordings to be explicitly in the timeslot as opposed to grabbing the first new episode, etc. Any hints or tips on this issue would be great.</span></font></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>Digital channels are different from analog channels. If you have an "on this channel" type rule, it will require that specific channel and never record from the digital channel. If you use "on any channel" it will be able to use either analog or digital channels to record.</div><div><br></div><div>-Brad</div></body></html>
