The offerings from TWC have a PVR included in the cable box for like $5-10 a month, I may just go that route instead of spending about $400 or so for the JVC. I guess you are saying I cannot use the firewire from the 3250HD to import the files to the Dell that sucks, so I should see if I can get the SA8300?, or wait to upgrade until that comes out.
I have a top of the line dell, got a real sweet deal from their outlet. For $2500 I got the 3.4Ghz with HT Tech Extreme, 2 Gig Ram, X800 XT 256Mb Vid card, 800 Gig HD, I do not think I will have any problems with my video ;) Just seems like that 800G goes to waste now, oh well, I will probably get the WinTV-PVR-500-MCE so I can watch TV while I surf as well as record in SD. I live in manhattan (east side kips bay) on the east side, I doubt it is worth getting an OTA HD Card, right?

Sorry, but you cannot wire through the HDTV output of the D-VHS 1080i signal into the Dell PC with any available HDTV PCI (or otherwise) card. Not that I am aware of at the moment. The main reason is that the HD content is protected with 5C copy protection by the JVC D-VHS recorder so that it will not be able to be recorded again. You can view it with the JVC 40K or 30K with your L2335 directly. > > See this: > > http://home.nyc.rr.com/paulchiu/images/2004-10-24%20CRW_2629.jpg > > The right L2335 is directly connected to a 3250HD as well as to a 4x1 DVI switch box. It is also connected via component input to a JVC 40K D-VHS recorder. The 1080i recorded programs will have perfect 1920x1080 ratio on the L2335 via both DVI and component inputs. You have to set the L2335 in either "Filled to Aspect Ratio" or "One to One" under the Custom Scaling menu item. > > When you have the 3250HD to L2335 via DVI or JVC 40K to L2335 via component video, you will say "Holy Sh%t, this is great HDTV !, better than most and as good as the 50" Fujitsu Plasma." > > If you can get OTA HDTV in your area, you can buy any one of the HDTV PCI cards for your Dell PC with firewire. With a program call DVICO Fusion HDTV, you can capture 720P and 1080i into your Dell. One hour is about 1 to 1.5GB of disk space, depending on your option selections. This can be fun if your PC is truly high end, as you will need a great video card with as much as 256MB of V-RAM in order not to die along the way. > > This is DVICO's output from my Dell to another L2335, with the DVI connection. > > http://home.nyc.rr.com/paulchiu/images/2004-10-24%20CRW_2628.jpg > > > Paul > > > john_e_gagnon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Paul thanks so much for the reply. > > My setup is going to be my Dell and an HP L2335 (23" LCD) - NO TV, if > I go ahead and purchase the JVC (not even sure how much that will run > me) - is there an easy way to view the resulting recording on my LCD > through my Dell?
