Can a single HD feed be split off, like it can with analog cable, or
would I have to get multiple feeds? If it can be split off, I could
then put it into both tuners on the HD Homerun and record off of both,
or, do what I do now with the digital cable:
- Single feed coming in from cable provider to 4-way splitter
- 4-way splitter to:
a.) cable modem (for Internet)
b.) digital settop box (which i use to watch TV)
c.) Two feeds to PVR-500 for recording TV (no digital channels
though; just analog)
Also, I seem to recall that the HD Homerun will not decrypt any
channels; that would have to be done by the settop box provided by the
cable company; the HD Homerun will only let you record "clear" channels,
whether HD or not... is that recollection correct?
