I don't own the product, but from what I gather it's output does not
implement any standard for transfer of video data. It comes out in
some proprietary format that needs to be transformed by another box.
He sells a PC running a special program for this purpose. It all
struck me as rather hokey and overpriced. I actually own one of the
Toshiba HD satellite receivers that they modify, but I can't see
throwing money away on this "upgrade."
