I recently got a HDTV, and it's great with either HD programming, or
with DVDs played via my DVD recorder that provides progressive
playback (480p) to the new HDTV. But I also have a DirecTV recorder
(HR10-250), and it will only output (to the DVD recorder) a 480i
signal.

So the first question is, is there any way to capture an OTA HD
broadcast signal, and record it to DVD as a 480p recording? Either to
a stand alone DVD recorder, or to a PC based DVD burner (using a PC
with an ATSC tuner card)?

The TV is 1080p capable, presumably upscales any input to 1080p. The
HR10-250 will output via HDMI in either 720p or 1080i, so which one
should I select? Does one or the other use less storage space on the
disc drive, or produce any better upscaled images? (I can't "see" any
obvious difference, but then I can't "see" both at the same time
either.)

TIA for any suggestions...
