I have been thinking about upgrading to HDTV but I am concerned how MythTV
will fit into that. I can handle having to upgrade hardware but there seems
to be other issues that will cause me problems. Mostly I fear that I won't
be able to record encrypted cable channels which is going to cause my TV
viewing habits to regress.
Currently I have a number of premium digital cable channels that I record by
capturing the output of the cable box. With MythTV I can record movies from
HBO and Showtime, etc. and watch them on my schedule. I also subscribe to
the NHL package and since the games I am interested in are aired when I am
working it would be useless if I could not record it.
So at some point these channels become HD and due to copy protection (HDCP?)
I will not be able to record these channels. Is this correct or is there
some solution to this now or coming up?
I would guess I could get a DVR from the cable company (or go back to a new
Tivo) but that seems like a big regression after using Myth for a year now.
Suggestions? Comments?
