The first, STB->HDPVR->MythTV->TV vs. STB->TV, but they should yield
identical results as the CableCard tuners do not alter the video stream. I
would record the video out of the Comcast DVR with the HDPVR and pause the
Comcast DVR. Then I could switch inputs on the TV and flip back and forth
between the two. Not a scientific method, but the best I could do. This is
also from memory of a test I ran 2-3 years ago. My memory is a little fuzzy.
