Or you could write a script to transcode/down-rez the HD version and keep it in videos. It will look much better than any version recorded off something like a pvr-250, and may look better than a version recorded off the SDTV digital subchannel, if that's what you are doing. (In theory, you could record both the high def and SD subchannel that many stations commonly put in the same major channel, with just one tuner. However, that's very much "in theory." with Myth right now.)
