My recomendations:<br><br>Dont get the HVR-1800. In linux you can only use it to tune Digital channels<br><br>I would recomend the pvr-150 or the pvr-500. Both will allow you to record your cable service well in the future. The only time you will need a Digital tuner is if you are trying to get HD of cable or any TV OTA (After Feb 19th)<br>
<br>If you get a PVR-150 you would want to cable it as so:<br><br>1) COAX ----> Coax Tuner of the 150<br><br>2) STB --> S-video + RCA audio --> pvr-150<br><br>Connection 1 will allow you to get all the channels your TV will with out the STB. Usally channels 1-100 ish. Connection 2 will get the channels that you can only view via the STB. <br>
<br>You will put the two connections in a tuner group so Myth knows you can only record one of these at a time.<br><br>if you get a PVR 500 you can double this with 2 stb or just have two connection #1's.<br><br>Mitchell<br>
