Thats correct.
If you do not have an HD PVR card, you'll only be able to record shows
in standard definition. If you want to view HD programs direct from the
DirecTV services, you'll want to change inputs on your TV, to view the
source directly from the DirecTV box. If you want to use the Myth box,
you'll switch the TV back to the other input, and only be able to view
standard definition content.
