Are there any standalone DVD recorders, either with or without internal HardDrive that can recieve and record any surround modes? Every one I've found have only the analog stereo audio inputs. I'm hoping to find one that I can connect RCA digital audio and will record in whatever surround mode the digital cable channels have comming through. It'd also be nice if it had component video input but I can live with the S-video the better ones I've found all seem to have.
Nope......... The only way to record surround is with a computer. I wish they did offer stand alones, with that feature.
