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
