Thanks for the replies. I did some searching on those two things<br>(169time and r5000). I'm willing to spend money to get this up and<br>running, but I'm not willing to drop $500-$1,000 just to get HD tv shows<br>
to Myth. I'd rather put that receiver on the new TV and just live with<br>it, or switch to the local cable company if what they have works with<br>MythTV.<br><br>On Thu, 2007-04-19 at 14:58 -0400, Brian Walter wrote:

But any premium channels are hit and miss. I am one of the unlucky ones and don't get my HD movie channels unencrypted via QAM. I keep around a comcast DVR so I can record a few shows on those channels. Pathetic I know, but I love my HD. :-)
