I have to agree on the DTV picture quality. It sucks. I have an RCA 52inch Hi-res bigscreen and the DTC-100. The DTC-100 has a built in line doubler so the picture is much improved over watching a regular DTV reciever. It hooks up to the tv via vga cable. It has regular connections too, but you have to switch modes maually and such. So I gave up the PVR for now. I have used my tv as a monitor to play games. Played a lot of Max Payne there in the living room with friends. It only accepts 800x600 as the highest res mode. So not the best, but still pretty good. It has a separate vga port for that as well.

I would realy like to get a RTV4000, but lack of connections makes me wait for the next unit available.
