[mythtv-users] How small can I get my captures?

[Richard J. Finn]

	It could have to do with cable quality, original signal quality, and 
even distance from the repeater (is it still a repeater for digital cable?).

	I, myself, am looking at getting cable again (haven't had it for 3 
years - since my last move).  Time Warner offers a decent digital cable 
package, but all the channels I would want are in the analog set.  I'm 
hoping I won't need a set top box (and therefore will not need an IR 
blaster yet ;).
