Does anyone know if there is a recording medium that can record both hi def and standard def OTA? I use an antenna pickup here in the Atlanta area. I receive 20 or so channels perfectly, about a dozen of which broadcast in hi def depending on the time of day and type of broadcast. I want to be able to record OTA programming but can't seem to find "a box" that can do it unless I have satellite, cable, or a TIVO subscription. I have none of these (and don't want them, either). The DVD and hard drive recorders I've evaluated all seem to handle standard def but are unable to process/store a hi def signal. I have a Mitsubishi WS-65711 (built in tuner) if it helps. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Lee
