[mythtv-users] Question about DTA box usage

I'm in the Atlantic City, NJ area and just picked up my DTA boxes 
yesterday for the TVs in the bedrooms.  My main TV in the living room 
has the HD motorola STB and that's where my combined FE/BE reside (so 
the HD-PVR is getting much usage now).  The fe/be has my pcHDTV 5500 
card in it, which is now all but obsolete due to the "enhancements" from 
Comcast.

But I started thinking about this and was wondering if it is feasible: 
could I hook up 1 of those DTA boxes to the pcHDTV card and still 
capture the recordings that it used to provide me on the basic 2-99 
channels?  If it can be done, are there any specific issues or wiring 
considerations?

Thanks for any info,
Harry
