[mythtv-users] From STB to hd-3000 [was Is pchdtv3000 worth it?]

[Julian]

Doug,

Thanks for the response.  Could you validate my
thought process here?  It seems that the HD-3000 has
svideo in and the dct2000
(http://broadband.motorola.com/catalog/product_documents/DCT2000.pdf)
has svideo out...would this not support the proper
encoded video?  Otherwise I fear the investment in a
HD card to be very risky due to encryption.  Is this
the root of all HD-3000 trepidation?

Thanks again,
Julian
