How are ATI's ATSC tuners? What chipset do they use?
One thing that makes me worry about this one, right from the getgo, they dont have a clue about what HD ATSC file sizes can be: Quote:

ATSC digital TV recordings will typically consume 4 Gb of disk space per hour.
I get typical file sizes of around 5.2 GB for 720p and 7.6 GB for 1080i, IIRC. |

It all depends on your local affiliate and what they do with the signal. one of my local FOX HD's runs around 6.8GB/hour on 720p material, but the ABC is barely 6.0GB. I've had a CBS feed at almost 8GB per hour before they started to multicast a SD and weather channel.
I would really hate to have an affiliate that dumbed down the HD signal to only 4GB per hour.

Hauppauge is referring to "ATSC digital TV recordings" - which could be SD or HD. So yes, HD recordings are usually much higher than 4GB/hour, but maybe if you average in SD recordings it's closer to their quoted figure.
