[mythtv-users] OT: A question on the HD-PVR and non-HD content

[Matt Emmott]

This is independent of the current state of Myth, VDPAU, H.264, trunk, etc
etc, but I think this list would be the most knowledgeable on the subject:

I plan on getting an HD-PVR sooner than later. I plan on the component-out
going from my STB to the HD-PVR, and the usb from the HD-PVR going to the
Myth box. My question, or questions now that I think about it are: Is this
box HD-only, or can I use it to tune SD content as well? Second, will it
automatically adjust between 720i/p and 1080i/p?

The reason I ask is, I'd like the HD-PVR and STB connection to be my primary
tuner, and function like my old Tivo + STB - It would "just work". I'm
hoping that the box could automatically adjust between SD / HD and HD's
different resolutions and record appropriately. I don't mind if SD comes
across in some kind of an H.264-esque wrapper, so long as it, again, "just
works".

Hope this isn't too far off topic but thus far I haven't been able to get a
straight answer. Thanks in advance.
