    HD DVR on SDTV

    Yeah the tv is relatively new..about 8 months old and has Component inputs, rca inputs, and I believe S-video. I was just worried he would refuse to do the job and had even thought about going to a rental place and renting a tv for a week.

    Considering H20?

    Thinking about getting ITVN for Starz and I was wondering how reliable the service is, if I can hook a wirelees router up so as to watch the programming in another room, and how the starz on demand works. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
