[mythtv-users] Where can I find info about using DVB with MythTV

[Steele Price]

I saw that link already, but thanks.
I am debating the merits of getting a hardware decoder... the drawback for
me is that the hauppage (all technotrend based cards for that matter)
require the seperate card for CI, I'd have to stuff it in the floppy bay in
a wierd way around the CF slots (I'm using an MSI Mega 651)

but if hardware decoding is of real benefit (I have a P4-1.8) then possibly,
but it's 3 times as expensive for speculative benefit on a somewhat fast
machine.  I know, I know, you get what you pay for, but if the decoding is
all software and all I really want to do is stream captures, who cares
right?  No real benefit in hardware decoding if you are just capturing,
unless it has some benefit when transcoding multiple streams at once.

This page is somewhat helpful:

Also, I am not using TV out, but a vga-component video transcoder to an HDTV
so hopefully that can eliminate some of the ATI problems, maybe not, will
find out tomorrow.

Otherwise, I'll be making a trip down to Fry's to get a new capcard.
