Just a note to the list that might help others. <BR>
<BR>
I previously had been using MythTV with Comcast Analog cable, and recently added an HDHomeRun box that allowed me to access a handful of HD channels without upgrading my Comcast Basic Cable service. This worked quite well. Today, I "upgraded" my service with the intent of adding only a sports HD package. That required that I pick up a Motorola DCH-3200 box from my local Comcast store. <BR>
<BR>
The first important thing I learned is that my monthly bill will actually go down for a year, and then (hopefully) return to the previous rate. Go figure! Second, the sports package includes HBO and a sizable number of other channels that I've yet to identify - there a a bunch. Third, and most important, I integrated the box right into my MythBackend server via a firewire connection, and following the instructions at <BR>
<A HREF="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Firewire.">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Firewire.</A> It almost could not have been easier. FYI, I found the "Broadcast" connection to be more reliable than the P2P connection.<BR>
<BR>
Hope this helps. <BR>
