[mythtv-users] PVR500 Tuning

[Conrad]

Just one bit of clarification, my STB is a dual-tuner HD-PVR.  So based on
the explanations that I've received so far, is it fair to assume the
following:

   1. I can use the main PVR500 board to receive signal from either the
   composite or the svideo output from the STB
   2. I can use the breakout board for the other ouput mentioned in 1
   above (not in use)
   3. I should be able to receive two signal sources into the combined
   PVR500/breakout_board  from my STB.

I also own a ATSC/QAM tuner which I have not yet brought into the mix.  And
again, based on your explanations and my , so far faulty, reasoning I should
be able to use a (cheap) splitter and receive non-encrypted digital channels
on it.

Thanks
