Nope. I'm not saying that at all. I just want the best quality video
possible ... true HD ... recorded on my MythTV box. If I read the specs
correctly, the $220 device only accepts component input. I am still a
relative newbie to all of this so I am not sure if component-based quality
is the same (or could it possibly even be better?) than HDMI quality. If so,
then I'd be quite happy going with the device mentioned earlier and save
myself all the problems :)

Anyone able to chime in on the relative quality of the various output
configurations? I'd love to hear from the experts!!!

Thanks again for the advice and insight!

Peter
