<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've been a Myth user since 0.14, and
am currently quite happy with a setup using 2 PVR-250s and a small, quiet
frontend on our main television. While I'm not looking to upgrade
to HDTV quite yet (it'll probably be a year or two), I've started doing
a little research, and I wanted to get some information about what other
Myth users are doing for HDTV.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">First of all, how are people using Myth
to record HDTV? I see a few mentions of the pcHDTV card, but looking
at the site for the card itself, I'm not quite sure if it's dumping the
HDTV stream to disk, encoding it to MPEG2 (like the PVR-250) for a smaller
stream, or what. It looks like a reasonably-priced card, but I'm
curious as to what alternatives I might be missing. Any clarification
would be helpful.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm in the United States, so I'm wondering
if US residents are worrying about DRM on the streams now, or the possibility
of it being implemented later.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I think once it becomes time to buy
a HDTV-capable TV, I can take care of getting it connected to a Myth box,
but if people want to share their experience doing that, I'd love to read
it.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Finally, any anecdotal evidence about
what kind of grunt is required for a frontend playing back a HDTV stream?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks for reading. Any advice
or information would be appreciated.</font>
