I haven't set up a Myth box yet, but I was considering the option of 
using my satellite box (although I assume it would be the same way with 
cable) through an analog capture card (probably s-video in) for the 
video, but I figured why do analog audio capture if I can do digital. 
Most boxes (including my dish network satellite box) have SPDIF out, so 
is it possible to record 5.1 (or just pure digital 2.0) audio through an 
SPDIF input on a sound card using Myth.  I figured someone out there has 
to have tried this.  Thanks!
