Functionality with MythTV is more important than nominal monthly cost,
as long as it's reasonable. I'd like to stay close to $50/mo for
comparable to what I have now plus maybe one premium channel set, like
HBO. I of course can search out pricing, but I just wanted to know
what works (best) with Myth...

HDTV is another consideration, I have an HD compatible TV (DVI input).
I know myth needs alot of stuff to support that, but what about
capturing HD out from any satellite services, and are there any
offered that work with HD capture cards?

Anyone using Voom w/ MythTV? Is Voom any good?
