I'd assumed these recorder store the digital data as is, however on a friend's spanking new Panny unit, there are a few quality settings... what gives?! Do they re-compress the signal? thanks DH
seems daft to me... the broadcasters spend some time & effort getting a decent balance of bandwidth & quality, and deliver it as a data stream, only for the digital recorder to further scrunch it. Massive hard drives are as cheap as chips these days.
