This is useful, and much easier than hitting record, then stopping the recording then going to history to see which tuner it was on.

How good can it be, if it isn't HD?

Or you can just hit the "H" key on the attached keyboard.

I saw the info come up, but nowhere do I see which tuner is being used.  Where are you seeing that?

Are there any similar features that have been figured out for non-TV pack installs?

Right now I'm trying to figure out a way to confirm for certain what the frame rate and format my digitally recorded HD channels are in.  For some reason I'm seeing conflicting information when I use different tools to look at this (for example I have some shows apparently in 1280x720 60p, some apparently in 1280x720 30p, some apparently in 1280x720 24p, and some apparently in 1280x720 30p; very often these numbers seem to jump around depending on where I am in the show; also all of my previously 1920x1080 60i channels seem to have all recently been switched to 1280x720 at one framerate or another).

At the same time I am now experiencing stuttering with some of these recordings and this is why I'd like to know what Media Center "thinks" the shows have for frame rate, interlace state and resolution.

I'm running a fully updated Vista instalation, without the TV Pack.
