Hi Norm,

Like yourself I have both a Rogers Digital TV Box, Rogers Analog (channels
1-80 or so), and recently Rogers Digital over QAM 256.

With a HD3000 you can receive about 40 or so Digital TV stations that are
transmitted unencrypted. I do this to receive channels 102 through about 130
or so, plus some sports net channels. No HD stations are broadcast in the
clear.

As for a digital cable box, it's not "useless for Myth" I feed it into a PVR
250 card using SVideo, and use an IR Blaster to control the channel.

David

I currently have an analog card to pick up my Rogers cable channels but
are you telling me that with a DVB-T card I can get the digital
channels?  I have a digital box but its useless with Mythtv.  The analog
signal looks crappy so if I can get the digital signal, that would be
awesome.
