HDMI == DRM. Once your signal is in HDMI mode you need £££ for a <br />card to read it as input.<br /><br />Does this box have component out? Perhaps you could use a HD-PVR.<br /><br />-- <br /><br />Mike Perkins<br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />mythtv-users mailing list<br />mythtv-users@mythtv.org<br />http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users<br /></blockquote><p>Oh well, never mind I'll just have to stick with the PVR250 as the V+ HD box doesn't have component out. DRM is such a pain!</p><p> </p><p>Dave.<br /> </p>
