I want High Quality HDTV on my PC without forking over large sums of cash for a "Certified" PC. Is that so much to ask?]]>Dec 9th 2008 4:16PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/09/directv-suspends-development-on-hdpc-20-tuner/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/09/directv-suspends-development-on-hdpc-20-tuner/
The longer it takes, the longer DirecTV is without at least this one subscriber.

I guess the number of people that would sign up for the service with the availability of this product is too low for them to ever release it.

Oh Well.

I wonder if this is related to DirecTV going back to TiVo for their software?

Well it sux unless they come out with a revised piece of hardware to do the job. Some sort of connection between a Media Center PC & DirecTV box?]]>Dec 9th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/09/directv-suspends-development-on-hdpc-20-tuner/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/09/directv-suspends-development-on-hdpc-20-tuner/Dec 9th 2008 4:20PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/09/directv-suspends-development-on-hdpc-20-tuner/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/09/directv-suspends-development-on-hdpc-20-tuner/Dec 9th 2008 5:05PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/09/directv-suspends-development-on-hdpc-20-tuner/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/09/directv-suspends-development-on-hdpc-20-tuner/
im not completely sure, but i think that the Component and HDMI feeds are encrypted some kind of way so they cant be recorded. im almost certain about HDMI being like that but not positive on Component. you should look into a capture card that does Component though since Component and HDMI do the same things (and look very comparable to the untrained eye).]]>Jan 7th 2009 11:26AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/09/directv-suspends-development-on-hdpc-20-tuner/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/12/09/directv-suspends-development-on-hdpc-20-tuner/

MS isn't stopping the project, in fact hey are continuring to add the needed support for this scenario and are continuing to work with DISH on thier tuner. As for why DirecTV would punt/postpone this, perhaps it has something to do with the economy and the need to focus on a smaller number of opportunities...]]>Dec 16th 2008 12:08PM
