Then figure it out on your own. The DVR's from Directv are way more useful
than some POS PC setup you are using, unless its a real Tivo or Ultimate TV
box....plus you wouldnt need to post on usenet to try to figure out if it
would work...it just works flawlessly...All the HD DirecTv receivers have
component and at least s-video as well, its your HD card in your PC that is
lacking...its strictly meant for OTA recording...
