Would I be able to watch TV on my computer and see my computer on a TV, PAL or NTSC?

If it has an inbuilt HD to recordbefore dumping to disc, could I use access tha from my computer. 50odd meg transfer is pretty good, no?

Does it play normal CD's?

Could it replace my stereo?

Could it replace my computer CD-ROM, HD and (this would be good) my monitor?!??

What else could this thing do?

It also may take the title of the first non-pc standalone device sold to actually play the only HD disc-based content actually available at this point: WMVHD.

Noticably absent however is its ability to play HD MPEG2 streams, listing a 15Mbps cap on MPEG2 video. This is kind of unfortunate since most PC-based capture solutions or other HD recording solutions save the direct transport stream which is normally somewhere between 18 and 26Mbps for 720p and 1080i content.

Also unfortunate is the low 30fps maximum of most formats it decodes. While not currently that common for broadcast video, 50 and 60fps material is not entirely an unreasonable format especially if it's material preprocessed from 60i to 60p.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:13AM
