I wish it had S-video output. I have a standalone DVD recorder, and prefer recording at the best quality input it has which is S-video. I realize since the microHD has PVR capability I could likely take recorded files from a USB connected hard drive on the microHD to the computer and burn DVD's that way. However past experience has shown occasional hiccups in that process (ie Visionsat), and so I prefer to use a method which has proven foolproof.
