Just to clarify: They're planning to eliminate clear QAM for "Expanded Basic". The lowest tier channels, such as ABC/NBC/FOX/PBS, will remain in the clear, so if you watch any of those channels there will still be utility in the HDHR. > Now I'm seeing for the first time what its like to playback an HDHR > sourced video with mvpmc, and its far worse than merely out of sync > audio.

It wasn't an mvpmc issue, as the transcoded file would play with the audio out of sync wherever it was played from. > Is it possible to configure MythTV to transcode all videos from a > particular source?

Yes. Either that or probe the video to see what type it is and if it needs transcoding based on that.
