Do any of you use the Guide + software that comes with the card to record off TV signal? If so, what options to you use to maximize quality and conserve space? What format do you encoude in if you wish to burn DVDs? Thanks..

While there is a record button in Guide+, you will find a video recorder settings tab when you go into settings in TV (open TV and right click, select settings). By defualt there are already 4 settings for DVD, SCVD, etc... There is a button that allows you to copy and then change or create new settings. This allows you setup custom recording settings (i.e. format/size/filters/etc..) I have had good success using the DVD low and DVD medium setting for burning cable TV shows to DVD. Remember to choose MPEG for shows you want to later burn to DVD, it just makes things easier.
