HVR as a temporary HD-PVR?
While my HD-PVR is out being rma'd I hooked my STB to the component in of my PVR-500, and continue to use firewire to change channels. This allows me to record all the premium channels, as if the HD-PVR was still there, but it's not as good quality wise. (it does get me 3 tuners for the price of 1 card though, which is nice, and I think using 2 daughter cards would get me 2 more tuners)Especially the HD channels, they are all postage stamped(pillarbox and letterboxed) If I had a HVR-2250, could I do the same thing, but it would know how to handle the aspect ratio, or is the component in on those cards only able to handle SD?
I know the quality still won't be as good, but its a temporary thing for now, and allows me a stopgap until the wife allows another HD-PVR into the budget. |

Those cards don't have compnent in. They have composite in or s-video in. Neither of those are a HD input.

No, it wouldn't. There are still only two tuners on the card, and configuring more than one input per tuner doesn't change that. Sage will still throw a conflict if you try to record more than two channels at once.
