On an unrelated note, is digital TV coverage in the USA decent enough that you would be able to forget analog TV sometime soon? In Australia we have SDTV and HDTV on digital. Some networks don't transmit all programs on their HD channels, but everything is on SDTV at least. The bitrates are quite reasonable (~3-5Gb per hour). My Myth installation has two DVB-T cards. I would only add an analog capture card if I wanted to capture analog cable TV. For free-to-air, DVB-T is obvious - the cards are cheap and require very little CPU. I can't tell if your stations there (USA) are transmitting both SDTV and HDTV on digital? If you have SDTV on digital, why would you include an analog card like the PVR-250? Admittedly for me, Myth was as much a way to get a DVB-T set top box as a PVR. Now STBs are cheap, but they weren't 1 year ago when I purchased my Myth hardware.
