169time is an upgrade that a private company has designed for some satellite
receivers that gives you a FireWire output to allow recording of the signal.
You ship your receiver to them and they modify its hardware.  You then
connect a (new) cable from that receiver to a dedicated PC that you also
receive as part of the package.  The PC converts the MPEG data into an ATSC
transport stream, suitable for recording on a D-VHS deck or other recorder.

Because the resulting transport stream is an ATSC stream, the HD-1000 can
play it, so we're aware of at least a couple of customers who have been
experimenting with this.
