Ok after playing with it for a while, installing it on a newer faster Media Center, and realizing that it doesnt install multimedia center on MCE2005 (you use MCE instead), the HDTV wonder truly is a wonder... compared to watching normal tv. We recorded quite a few programs thus far, such as Jey Leno and Law and Order etc. The main problem is that it lags horribly sometimes, depending on the content. It's odd that the simpsons (SDTV) would lag but leno wouldnt. Playback after recording is perfect, however live tv whether we're recording or not is sometimes horrible. I belive it is because we're using an X300 and the directx acceleration it uses for decoding is not very powerful (hence why it recommends 9600+ class cards to run. Anyways, its so cool to record these, burn the file to dvd, and take it home... mmmm hdtv to go.
