hmm, you know, now that i think of it the only time i had problems with this is when i was feeding the nomad an analog signal...i picked up the formatting before shows back in my analog days and have just been doing it as habit now that i'm in the digitial age. i wonder if the analog vs. digital makes a difference? Maybe i should try it out and go awhile without formatting it. i might be wrong on the whole formatting issue...however, then again, it still doesn't hurt.
