Cablecard is not currently supported on MythTV. There was a lot of
discussion generated 4/1/09 but it turned out to be in jest.
http://www.mythbuntu.org/cablecard However there is some interesting
rumors just yesterday from Silicondust that has MythTV potential for the
future

If I don't use cable cards I need two cable boxes and two IR blasters.
With two cable cards I need two PCMCIA ports on the PC.

Cable cards are supported only on Windows (and I think, only on Vista,
with the new DRM settings). They will not, as far as I know, work with
myth.
They are also only authorized for pre-built cablecard devices, not
general purpose PCs.

FCC has admitted that as they stand now, they're not usable in most
