Thanks for the link. Unless I missed something, it won't capture HD
quality signals.


I think you're correct there.


It will accept SD signals, but no mention of HD input ability anywhere in
the documentation.

AFAIK, there are no (and never will be) any HD capture cards that
have analog inputs.


I want to believe it's just a matter of time, but you might be right.
:-(


I think if we were going to have any, they would have already been here and
drying up. Just like the DVD players that output HD on the analog outputs
and PC HDTV capture cards that don't adhere to the broadcast flag. Devices
that don't handshake are very quickly becoming technological unobtanium.

MP seems to have trouble understanding my point here.


He's part of the problem -- he's using reasoning typical of, e.g., the
anti-gun lobby: People *do* break the law with certain devices
(guns/HD video capture cards/etc.), therefore *the devices
themselves* should be made unavailable, even though such devices have
plenty of legitimate uses.


I think he fully understands my point, he just wants to be belligerent and
slanderous. It seems to be his nature, especially when shown to be wrong
about something. Perhaps he has some legitimate reason to behave that way,
I don't really care any more.

Thanks again. :-)
