The other output of the splitter goes into a Comcast Digital Cable box.  I am then using the component output of the cable box to connect to the like inputs on the PVR-150 card.

However, when I record a program from the component source, which I'm using for digital cable channels, the picture looks fine, but the audio quality is very poor.  I've tried with and without transcoding.  I've used the various recording profiles.  Nothing seems to work.

not sure if this helps or not, but i had a similar problem (audio 
sounding like blown out speakers) ... the solution for me was to reduce 
mixer levels on my backend to around 50-75% ... works great now and 
sounds as good as any live TV channel w/o any myth stuff
