I wish I had the skills/balls to install the thing that attaches to the RF header, but I think that's above my skillset. I like that it just spits out RGB that you can feed into FFMPEG. I designed all the video/disc output presets for commercial software a few years ago (Blu-ray, AVCHD, DVD, H.264, etc), so getting exactly the best quality and specs out of FFMPEG is a breeze. It's just getting to that point that seems like a roadblock. Very exciting to hear about this though - thanks for the heads up.

Update 2:
I was at my local Goodwill today and found a JVC DR-MV150B - which came highly recommend by signofzeta. Anyway, I got it home and it was a bit quirky (it kept wanting to shut off after failing some sort of mechanical test), but after messing with it, I got it to stay on. After that I was happy to see that you could pass through 480i over HDMI, which would be my ideal scenario. Unfortunately, recordings would have a handful of visual glitches, audio glitches, and very shortly my recording device would just freeze up. I'm guessing that there's some sort of problem with not handling analog fluctuations to maintain a steady 480i signal at 29.97fps. On top of that, the video that I did manage to capture showed significant detail loss compared to any of my Panasonic recorders.
For $10, it was worth trying, but I think we can call this one a failed experiment. I accept the possibility that recording via the built-in DVD recorder or passing through via component might work better, but I just didn't see enough that made me want to mess with it further.
