I still don't see what the big hype is about PVRs. First of all, you can't
get the MPEG recorded material OFF the PVR without first capturing from
its own outputs. So you still need a VCR or Hauppage or DC10+ to capture
AGAIN what you captured on the PVR. Three wasted steps with what you could
do with 1 DC10+. Am I the only one who sees this?

Even if you COULD get it off the PVR, you have a full hour or two of
commercial movies or TV episodes that you still need to edit. Combine the
getting it OFF the PVR, editing, reencoding to MPEG, its easier and faster
to just record it with a Hauppage or DC10+ in the first place.

With the prices of HDs and high performance computers now, PVRs are, IMHO,
only useful for times when you can't record with your DC10+ due to space
limitations and instances when your not home, so you program the PVR.
