<br><br></span></div>yes your myth box will act as the HD box. You install tuners then output the video via S-Video/Composite/component/HDMI/DVI.</blockquote><div><br>Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe with the above setup you'll only get over the air HD channels via ATSC (Antenna) or QAM (Unencrypted HD over cable). With my new Vivitek tv on Charter in Massachusetts, I'm only able to pull three HD channels without a box at the moment. I have a post on this list earlier today with more details. I don't believe there's a solution to get encrypted HD onto the mythbox unless there's a cable box that can output via coax or some other means that a MythTV machine can input. I'm new to the HD side of things so please correct me if I'm mistaken.
