]Yes, the HD-3000 and HD-2000 cards can be hooked up to digital cable and
]receive everything.
Unlikely. With the HD-2000 at least, the driver only supports 8-VSB,
I don't know of any cable company that uses that modulation.

]Let me correct my statement, the channel data is readable, but the
]audio/video streams are encypted and garbage to us.
yep.

]USDTV sends encrypted Digital (NON HD) channels OTA.
]Myth chokes and dies a horrible death if you try to decode it (Which can
]be quite annoying if a regular HD station is broadcasting their leased
]bandwidth to USDTV on their first program channel).
This shouldn't be a problem if your program id is set correctly. If it
does, this is a bug I'd like some info on.


]No, you're not the only one who cares about it, it's just that HDTV is
]new and those devs working on it don't seem to have HD cable.
Not exactly. I get free HDTV cable with unencrypted HDTV channels, the
problem is that there is no card with QAM support and linux drivers
for me to use.
