[mythtv-users] MythTV w/HD Sat or Cable? what hw to use? is the dolby preserved?

2005-01-11 Thread Michael Miyabara-McCaskey
Has anyone gotten a MythTV box, running with an external tuner, pulling
down HDTV signals from either Sat or Cable?

If so, what are you using to pull the feed into the MythTV backend
hardware wise?  (i.e. how are you getting the Dolby Digital COAX
or Optical + S-video/component video into the PC?)

Also, can the full Digital Audio (5.1) information, then be played back on
a remote MythTV frontend?

Can't be done with current technology -- there is no hardware to 
capture, and not enough CPU to encode, HD-sized frames.  The most 
promising avenue is a cable/sat box with FireWire output.  You might try 
searching the archives at Gossamer for earlier discussions.
