Is reel dead yet?

[Antwan]

This stuff is interesting to me..
so does an HD TV have better quality when capturing with an HD device?
because I've been running the same TV for a while never wanted an HD TV
if I were to buy a capture card for my non HD TV would the quality not be in HD, or is HD just the input output you need for the HD Device for an HD TV?
Does it make a difference what definition the TV is what I'm asking.. Will I have a different quality capture?

cap card should capture w.e your box sends it.

if you have an hd cap card then youd have to hook it up in hd.
but if you dont have a hd tv then how would you get the picture to play.


my xbox sends out widescreen 720x480 standard def.
i have the standard def cables split with composites to my tv and card at the same time.

no the game goes through the PVR and records it there so you can have the absolute best quality possible

i was watching this guy going over it on a video and he said you don't need a HD TV to record HD since it goes to the PVR first
