No, still no way to get satellite HD into Myth, and I watch the single
ATSC HD channel available OTA so rarely that I haven't bothered to get
it into Myth. I feed the cable direct into the TV set for an additional
PiP channel.

The Myth F/E feeds the VGA input of the TV, used by itself 99% of the time.
