There is some highly experimental code that has been submitted on trac
(but not commited to SVN head) that allows R5000 modified Dish boxes
to send both SD and HD into mythtv.  I don't know anything about it,
don't use dish, and haven't even looked at the code.  Just thought you
might be interested - http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4752

Thanks!
Matt
