<br class="">
I already have a PVR-500 giving me plenty of good analog SD service from a channel line-up that's 90% of my historical viewing. I have another one sitting in my old machine as a spare or to add to the new box.<br class="">
<br class="">
I have a Motorola DCT-700 still sitting in the box from my cable provider (Shaw in Canada) and that seems a logical first addition. It only does composite out so I figure I can pick up a PVR-150 to capture from the DCT exclusively and work out the channel-change and recording priorities for the handful of channels worth getting from digital. Does that sound right?<br class="">
<br class="">
However, Shaw is also offering a "HD Box" (their words) that, after a couple calls to verify, I won't have to add some new plan and that the box could replace the DCT-700 - I'd get the digital SD I'd get with the DCT, and "HD Basic". It's a Motorola DCX3200-M single-tuner HD box for $138 that will get a dozen or so HD channels from the plan that I'm paying for already.<br class="">
<br class="">
There's not a lot of current info from Google about these boxes and Myth. Apparently it's workable, at least a couple years ago. Anyone using this box? Do I need a capture card for it? Can be used in Fedora 22? IR-blaster-able?<br class="">
