RE: Video quality of MCE with Hauppauge 150's

It certainly appears that the Black Gold cards keep it digital all the way
... Pulls the channel that you are wanting out of the MUX and runs it
straight to disc.

I record stuff on the MCE machine and watch it across the network on either
my main PC or on my laptop - currently watching Top Gear from last night.
