I watch all my shows using DVD sneakernet since purchasing DVDs is much cheaper than shelling out $500 for a new HTPC. I recently ditched cable and started recording OTA/HD (free).

All this transcoding is starting to wear my patience down. Would you please consider adding support for HD to SD downconversion without having to show-squeeze first. The files on my computer have a TP4 extension. I use a TheaterPro 650 PCI card.

I occasionally like to watch the HD shows on my computer, so I do not want to record to SD.

Lastly, Would you please consider adding support for burning Blu-Ray DVDs now that HD-DVD is moving towards dinosaur status. Hopefully, Blu-Ray DVD prices will drop from ~$14 a disk to under $1 in near future. Blu-Ray burners can now be purchased for ~$400. This combination allow watching HD shows at your convenience.
