[mythtv-users] Digital Television In US

[Chris Petersen]

Here in Seattle (comcast), I get all SD channels except for VH1 over 
firewire (no idea why that one, it just doesn't work).  I even get HBO 
and high def channels like Discovery HD.

I know other comcast users around the country who aren't as lucky, so 
what you get seems to be very regional.

As for satellite solutions, it's about $200 to get a dish, couple of 
lnb's and a dvb-s card for FTA stuff.  The Dishnetwork satellites seem 
to carry a whole bunch of local-affiliate stations in FTA, so you might 
actually be able to get some decent programming from there, too.  No 
cable networks, though.
