You won't get HD if you record from the S-video or Composite inputs. These
are for SD only.

Does it have Component Video inputs? That would be the one to use if the sat
receiver doesn't do Firewire. Most have Component Video outputs.

Thanks Brad; agreed about composite inputs - but my qusetion (for those who
might have this equipment) was how the hell do I access the composite
inputs. (i.e. what channel - if they transfer to a channel designation! All
I can get right now is the scanned and memorized OTA HD channels. BTW amazed
that OTA signals support a programming grid. Cool!
