<br>cable box will be usable on Linux due to the commercial nature of the copy<br>protection. If that is the case I will have to say goodbye to MythTV when I<br>want to go with HDTV. I might want to keep MythTV for unencrypted content
<br>but have two DVR solutions probably won't help in WAF.<br></blockquote></div><br>If you're optimistic, you might want to hold out to see what pchdtv has in store. From an interview with Jack Kelliher, the CEO of pchdtv (circa January '07, I think)[1]:

works at pcHDTV? >>What hardware goodies are coming up for the Linux crowd?<br>>><br>
