<div>No. Your best option at this point for recording HD from Sat is to buy an HDPVR from Hauppauge and record the analog component (HD) output from your STB into H.264 with the device. It is brand new and support is limited in Myth for it and the driver is highly experminental right now.</div>

<div>The only other option I'm aware of are some modified STB boxes that add firewire ports to them but I'm not sure how supported they are either.</div>
