Really... So that is some powerfull voodoo. :-)
So I can use the HD3000 as both analog and digital. That is very cool!
I guess what I can do is set up the hd3000 to be the secondary analog
receiver, after the PVR150. I take it, though, that the analog side is a
BT878-type non-hardware video capture.
OK, more ideas to play with...
