    Thanks Steve, looks like I will have to buy one and return it if I don't see a diff. No one I know has a Pscan.

    I am talking Pscan

    You will see a difference, my DVD player lets me go Progressive or Interlaced, not exactly sure why, but it definitely is more grainy when I switch to Interlaced...

    Entry Prog Players are really inexpensive nowadays.

    Get yourself a DVDO Iscan and hook it up to that VCR I sent you. You'll get a scaled progressive feed... :D

    So does mine. There's a button on the face to turn the PScan on and off.

    Well I didn't think mine was the only one ;) , just really don't know why they would even have such an option.

    Maybe for those that are still using standard RCA's or S-Video I guess.

    I didn't mean anything by my reply, just that I was thinking the same thing is all.

    Yes it does take 480p and the Motorola cable HD box sends 1080i. It also has a 120gb HD hard drive which, in standard resolution, is good for 60 hours...not sure how many in HD mode.
    60h * (720 * 480) / ( 1920 * 1080) = 10h

    Not sure how much the compression changes between the two so it might not be an accurate estimate at all... :)

    I think mine is advertised 60h SD, 20h HD...

    That reminds me- with TWC in Raleigh & a Sci ATL 8300 DVR box, if you take the remote and hit 9999 it'll go into the service menu & you can get lotsa info- Including hard drive space and est recording time left.

    I saw that DVDO seems like a great thing, the down side is the price...couple of Gs
