And I would add to that thread that I started by saying this: video extraction sucks.

It's a long, overcomplicated process. However, it may be easier on DirecTivo, but I'm not certain what the differences are. Certainly the video quality on my extractions were not nearly as good as they were on the TV, which doesn't make sense to me since it's all 1's and 0's at that point. I'm pretty sure it was mostly to do with the resolution differences, though.

Anyway, I'm quite content with my Turbonet card simply being used to download guide data, as that means I no longer have to drag out the 100' phone chord every other day and do it manually. Turbonet is wonderful for that.

So for now, I'll be waiting until the right DVD recorder comes out.
