Hi Norm,<br><br>Like yourself I have both a Rogers Digital TV Box, Rogers Analog (channels<br>1-80 or so), and recently Rogers Digital over QAM 256.<br><br>With a HD3000 you can receive about 40 or so Digital TV stations that are
<br>transmitted unencrypted. I do this to receive channels 102 through about 130<br>or so, plus some sports net channels. No HD stations are broadcast in the<br>clear.<br><br>As for a digital cable box, it's not "useless for Myth" I feed it into a PVR
<br>250 card using SVideo, and use an IR Blaster to control the channel.<br><br>David<br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a href="mailto:mythtv-users-bounces@mythtv.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

Not to discourage new folks - it's not crazy hard, just seems like we could do a better job of centralizing info and automating processes.... I know, I know, I'm welcome to do it. Wish I understood better what I'm doing, then maybe I would....
</blockquote></span></div><div><br><br>To all, FWIW, Geoffrey's post above has been very useful. One issue I have is that I found that ESPNHD was unencrypted (when scanning under windows), but it doesn't seem to have shown-up under this method. Also, there are several channels which are missing an identifier. Anyonw know why these two situations would arise?
