Can the HDTiVo record SD locals?
Although I’m sure it varies a lot depending on where you live, most (maybe all?) of my local stations here in Atlanta multicast an SD feed with the HD feed in the digital signal. So in such a case, you’d be able to choose whether to record SD or HD. I don’t watch that much stuff on the broadcast networks – I don’t even look at that part of the guide very often, so I’m not sure if that’s the case with ALL of the stations. In the case where the original program is not HD, I’ll prefer to watch it on the SD feed, because they don’t normally zoom the SD feed to fill the screen height (so there are borders all around). My TV doesn’t let me zoom HD feeds (and I don’t think my receiver does either).
