get either the R5000HD or 169time solutions.  If I don't mind losing HD
resolution, I could view and record the programming via S-video connection
on a MythTV box.  Am I generally on track or am I confused? 

Also, could someone clarify cabling for me?  I'm not currently an HD
customer so I don't know what the output options are on a HD D* box:

Solution #1:  directv_rcvr (r500hd-enhanced) --> r5000hd --(firewire
connection)--> WinXP box --???? Cable type ????--> MythTV

Solution #2:  directv_rcvr --???? Cable type ????--> MythTV

I searched the Wikis, Google, etc. but am still confused about this so
apologize if this is spelled out clearly someplace.

Paul
