HD playback via MVP??
First off, I know that the MVP is SD ONLY. I'm considering getting a Dishnet 6000 HD sat reciever and doing a 169time mod for firewire support in Sage.
My question is can an MVP playback the recording from the HD (.ts stream, right?) on my SD tv's? Kind of like transcoding to SD from HD. Anyone have any idea? Much thanks in advance! -PGPfan |

No. MVP is strictly a hardware mpeg2 decoder for video. I'm not sure of its transcoding capabilities concerning those .ts streams.

I'm waiting for the HD Media Extender for this solution, but I have no idea how long the wait may be. Last edited by jquinlan; 01-25-2006 at 07:21 AM. |

PGPfan I would go waste any time on Dishnet 6000 HD with Dish start to move over to MPEG-4 there no telling how long they keep natively HD MPEG-2 a round.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm still hoping that the transcoding in Sage will (someday?) be able to transcode to SD. It really shouldn't be that CPU intensive, considering that Divx can be transcoded in realtime suggest that 'on-the-fly' mpeg-2 creation CAN be done. Maybe it's the initial decode that is the problem?
Good point about waiting, SHS. The only concern would be regarding 169time and their ability to create a mod for the new recievers. -PGPfan |

I don't see myself spending $$$ on an HDTV for my workshop when I have a working SDTV in there already. Or my parents upgrading the SD LCTV that mom has in her kitchen for a while. Basically record in max HD quality and downgrade if necessary. |
