Just thought people might be interested in this. When deciding whether or not to go ahead and attempt to pull together a mythtv setup I came accross the unfortunate reality that my cable company (comcast in Philly) scrambles almost all of my analog channels. If i hook up my direct cable feed to my tv I am only able to get about a dozen basic channels, almost all cable channels are scrambled. I only have basic extended cable and from what I've been reading most people think that cable companies do not scramble analog channels even if they give you a cable box. Just an example where they definitely do. If anyone has any possible work arounds (I'm doubtful) I would love to hear them as this has been a definite bummer for me.
You can connect your cable box to MythTV using an s-video or composite input and then use either a serial or IR interface to change the channels on the box externally so you get the right recording. This is just how people with Satellite service do it.
