Ahh, good to hear that digi-tv can record the program - i want to record planet earth in all its hd glory.

For yesterdays game, I ditched the cyberlink codec in favour of the coreavc codec... using hardware decoding on the cyberlink codec, my pc would randomly reboot - had it on for few hours before the game without a problem, then about half an hour before the game was due to start my PC would randomly reboot when watching HDTV. Tried software decoding with the cyberlink codec, but it was jerky.... so out of desperation, I spent $20 on the coreavc codec, which worked like a charm... Using coreavc, CPU usage jumps between 50-75% on my Athlon X2 4200+. I'd say the picture quality is slightly better too - with cyberlink + hardware decoding + overlay (I had to use overlay since VMR7 and VMR9 would de-interlace incorrectly, producing jaggies), I ended up with a thick, horizontal line across the bottom of the picture. Coreavc has none of these problems.
