With the digitalization of Canada's TV offerings, and the lack of
unencrypted QAM (I have a tuner card but it only works on the HD
antenna I have), I am wondering:
With the switch from analogue to digital over air in the UK, I was able
to continue to use a Hauppauge Nova T-500 card with twin tuners
connected via antenna. There are various channels that are subscription
only both encoded and include data streams. I have no use of them as the
content is to my mind a waste of space.
However if It was needed obtaining a decryption card for the box or
using decryption software should be be a real problem but I have more
than enough channels without it.
With a two tuner card that gives me at least four recordable
simultaneous programmes to record as needed. I have not tried to record
more as the CPU I use is only a AMD 5000 with 4 Gb Ram and it is a rare
occurrence that it would be needed.
At some point we will move home and hopefully to a cable area which in
that case I will get a twin tuner card and continue doing the same.
Programs are also obtained via the internet where needed from a wide
range of TV stations etc.

1) How do people now use mythtv?
Do you use firewire off the set-top box? I tried it on a friend's
machine with poor, unreliable (massively flakey) results, but that was
a while ago.
Do you use PVR-150s or HVR-1600 cards plugged straight into the
signal? This is my setup now, and though I get two tuners, it is low
Q and I fear will disappear.
Do you use it for all other media and just download your TV off
bittorrent?
What is the de-facto setup nowadays?
