Hi, sorry if i sound like a schmoe...I have only been looking at this for a week, but glad to contribute to this effort from a newbie point of view. I would also like to add that in theory by capturing the HD signal on the way to the TV after the set top box, one can get unencrypted streams. In order to tune the channels one could use an IR blaster or a serial cable (http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-21.html#ss21.24). Comments/Addition Inline:

Someone recently claimed that the Air2PC (http://www.cyberestore.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=103) card works with MythTv via the DVB interface (http://www.digitalregime.com/mythdvb/). The downside of this card (from the above referenced site for the card) is that it seems to only have a coax input and makes no mention of the broadcast flag/QAM support/encoding methodology. > -- Which cards only work for DVB? Which only for > OTA? Perhaps a clarification between DVB-C, DBV-S, and DVB-T should be made. Or better yet a reference to http://www.dvb.org/index.php?id=9 if it is still relevant. > -- Which cards work with encrypted sources? > > Playback: > -- How much CPU power is required to playback 1080i > or 720p streams? > -- Are most converting down to 540p for playback? > What steps are > involved in doing that? > > OS: > -- What Kernel, IVTV/V4L/ are recommended for: > -- HD-2000 > -- HD-3000 > > >From what I can glean, best way to succeed is to > install the HD card > into a different backend (if you already have a > backend with PVR-XXX's > in them) run a 2.6 kernel, and patch patch patch. > > Thanks to all in advance for any contributions to > this information.. > > _______________________________________________ > mythtv-users mailing list > mythtv-users@mythtv.org > http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users > ===== Live simply so others may simply live. -Ghandi Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate.
