Hi,<br><br>I'm looking at upgrading my current Myth setup (SD only, version .18)<br>to something capable of handling HD. I'm a Comcast analog cable<br>subscriber and recently picked up an external HD tuner (a Samsung DTB-
<br>H260F) to see what I could get via QAM off my coax. There's enough<br>unencrypted HD content (all the local OTA channels, DiscoveryHD,<br>Universal HD) that I'd like to have the option to record in either HD<br>
or SD. A little research turned up the pcHDTV 5500 -- a QAM capable<br>card with both ATSC and NTSC tuners. My question is (of course!) how<br>well does it work in Myth? Specifically, is anyone using the card to<br>record both HD and SD (not at the same time of course)? If so, how
<br>does this work? Do you specify two different inputs to Myth? Does<br>the card show up as having two different tuners? What's the quality<br>of SD capture? Any insight into the nuts and bolts of how the 5500<br>handles both QAM and SD would be much appreciated...
<br><br>thanks,<br><br>Steve<br><br></blockquote></div>I have no info about the pcHDTV5500. But I have a question for you. Why not continue using the current SD tuner that you already have? Just add a new HD tuner.<br>
