Best bang > for at or under $300. Consider that you've been using your current system for 10 years. You'll likely use your new system for that long or longer. Spend a little extra money if you can, it's worth it in the long run. Good sound can really make the DVD watching experience. Go to a few audio stores that let you listen to systems - got to regular stores and maybe a higher end store just for comparison. Find some things that sound good, then go on ebay or amazon auctions or craigslist. Even used, $300 is going to be tough. Good luck. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I've read the usual faqs, but I can only get my wireless set up to work in unencrypted mode.

FWIW, I don't know how it is where you live, but I have comcast cable, extended basic cable, and I don't need a cable box. I split the cable, one end to my MythTV machine, the other directly to my TV, which is "cable-ready" - like any non-ancient TV. I only have one capture card in my Myth box. I hardly ever want to watch live TV, and if I do, I use the TV tuner instead of Myth because of the slow channel surfing. After using Myth for a while, you'll find your need for live TV diminished. Even for the shows I need to see right away, I just record them and start watching them 10-20 minutes into them so I can skip the commercials.
