What are the chances of us being able to get a card that will accept ATSC over cable (using a cablecard) ? That, along with satellite, have to be the vast majority of the market. Do many people really use OTA antennas for HDTV? For me, personally, it would be useless, as I only have 1 local station that would even be broadcasting in high def. Another thought I had: What about using FireWire to capture? Many HD receivers have FireWire outputs. In fact, if I remember correctly, the FCC requires cable companies to supplied FireWire-equipped boxes for the purpose of being able to record. -Randy
