Not quite true.  You can, but it's prohibitively expensive, and
requires a box (XP or custom) between the settop and the mythTV box,
and some custom software to receive on the mythTV box.  From there, it
would come in over firewire.

Search gossamer for 169time or R5000.  There are a few people out
there running this (and I'm considering it when my taxes come in).
