Yes I did, Mr. Bytestard. I said:
"Not to mention lots of people can record HDTV broadcasts. I have an
Intel based iMac, a small Miglia MiniHD that plugs into the USB2, and
its EyeTV software that displays and records full stream ATSC HD
broadcasts like a TiVo. Works great!"

I'm not recording some network test benchmark's burst. I'm recording
broadcast TV shows, all sorts of them, the full stream, every bit
broadcast over the air, and placed onto a computer monitor at full
resolution. It's standard for this hardware/software, and frankly it's
nothing very special.
