No, they don't. None of the PVR's will record in HD except for the DirecTV unit, Dish 921 and whatever offering is out there from your local cable provider. We have the SA 8300HD's here in Phoenix.

Have you tried it over an HDMI to DVI cable?

Have you had this particular box switched out four times already, or is this the fourth of these units that you have installed?

I think the DirecTV box is the best thing going, especially with the Tivo interface. The bad thing is that we are putting in these $1000.00 boxes that are going to be obsolete when DirecTV goes to MPEG-4. I think there is a press release that tells how they are going to deal with the swapouts starting late this year or early next year. I just haven't read it yet.

Good luck.
