Wayne,
I did realize that it was not HDTV capable but did answer the original
question whether it could be done with satellite. I did some surfing last
night and did locate the MyHD card and will look at the Fusion as well
because all I want to do is send this to the PC.
BTW, I believe that Dish is doing very similar things that Direct TV does.
Going to be interesting when all their new satellites are operational to see
what is offered. I understood that Dish has 6 or 7 new ones. Not sure,
though.
Thanks for you response and you helped clear up some of the mystery.
Jeff
God bless our folks in NO and surrounding states.

Not sure, but that may not be entirely true. Could you look at this link
and tell me what you all think? I am not very well versed in this area but
would be very interested in the HD thing to monitor as it would be much
less expensive than buying a new TV and converter.

It does NOT say one word about HD [high definition] & it says nothing
about DirecTV. All it mentions is the word "digital". Contrary to the
DirecTV ads digital does NOT mean quality. One can have crappy digital
signal just like you can have a crappy analog signal. If you check out
this at <http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=574810> you see
that DirecTV is planning on changing their HDTV transmission standards [I
wonder how much that will cost me?] to Mpeg4 & plans to add 150 national
HD channels by 2007.
If one is new to an area of technology may I suggest that person go very
slowly reading & digesting as much as possible before making the leap. If
you're looking for HDTV reception on your PC Monitor & can recommend a
MyHD or FusionHD card as seen at http://www.digitalconnection.com/ May I
also warn you that if you get the Fushion card that you will NOT be able
to send the output to a HD ready TV like you can with a MyHD card but you
will be able to view HDTV on your computer monitor.
In the near future HD ready TV sets & HDTV receivers will be falling in
price fairly quickly & even DirecTv is now selling their HDTV PVR at only
$499 versus the $1000 I listed earlier.
