Which HD capture card are you using? The HD-3000 from pcHDTV? http://www.pchdtv.com/

Can you post the specs on your machines? I'm very interested in what type of units you were using (MB/RAM/CPU/Case/Vid/etc). Thanks!

For the third year in a row, I held a "superbowl commercials" party. In this case, we used MythTV to record the game in HDTV for a while, then sat down to fast forward through the football and slow down to watch the commercials.

I've written a page about the Superbowl Commercials Party here, including fun stories from the party and a bit about the MythTV software that did the recording and playback on two different floors in HDTV.

Also included is a discussion of how the equipment I used will become illegal in just a few months, and what we're doing to try and stop that. It's an interesting lesson in how regulation can stop innovation and what's really happening in the future of TV.
