Wish that PCHDTV 3000 card supported component or DVI/HDMI input ... that would solve a lot of issues :/ G... The pcHDTV cards have nothing to do with HDTV signaling, display, or compression. I believe this confusion comes up because there is really no equivilant to what the pcHDTV cards

Well, figured I'd try to capture from my SA 3250HD with the new 0.17 release. It seems to recognize that I'm plugged in, but I get this message from mythbackend: 2005-02-12 10:48:23.592 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2005-02-12 10:48:23.596 FireWire: Initializing Port: 0, Node: 2, Speed:
