And, for what it's worth: *why*?
I've produced television for almost 20 years; I'm accustomed to
monitoring on BVM-1911s and the like. I can't find anything to
complain about about the recordings produced by my sister's -350 and
-250s that I can't blame on the cableco, myself.
You do have to choose good compression parameters, of course.
And does it look like D-1? Of course not. But your TV set isn't up to
that anyway, and I relly don't care *how* much money you paid for it. :-)
Cheers,
