George/Richard,
Thanks for the feedback!
While not ideal, I'll probably go this route to improve my picture
quality. Maybe someday DirecTV will add firewire to their STB... *sigh*
Probably lame question... why not set your default recording profile to
be widescreen? It looks like you can set your HD STB to send to a 16:9
TV and configure a default behavior for non-16:9 content (e.g. pillar).
Wouldn't this result in all content being sent from the STB to the PVR
card as 16:9 and do away with the need to flip between profiles?
Thanks,
Joe
