I was thinking about a recording format that would be able to record Hi Def programming from my new Hi Def TV. I saw the following:
"JVC HM-DH5 Digital VHS HDTV Recorder" on sale at Buy.com for about $ 500 +/-.
Is this a real choice? How does Hi def VHS fit into the off the air recording process? Can I use it as an old fashioned VHS for time shifting and get the hi def quality?
