when you say that HD doesn't work in MythTV for the via chipsets, I
assume you mean recording and playing back an HD stream inside of
MythTV. SD stuff still works fine? How does it look playing back? I
record from a PVR-250 fed by my DirecTV receiver (for SD stuff), so my image quality is pretty good. <br><br>What HD resolutions does the 1.0.7 bios support as output? (My HD capable CRT TV only does 720p I think.) If I'm able to record OTA HD stuff using an Air2PC card, I wonder if MythTV would still be able to control it for scheduling recordings?
