- getting unencrypted channels with HD-Homerun (which I got, and still need
to configure).
I had a quick look at
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Working_QAM_cable_layout#Cupertino.2C_CA_95014_-_Comcast
but the channels don't seem to match what I see on my HDTV plugged
directly into the cable
- Comcast in my area seems to offer a Motorola with DCH3200, but am I
correct in assuming that it's unlikely to have anything coming out of the
firewire port that I'm likely to be able to use?
http://developer.motorola.com/products/settops/dch3200/
Therefore, is it likely that the cable box will only let me record via
svideo encrypted channels that I wouldn't be able to get any other way?
(I understand that in the near future, I may be able to use the haupage
card that records component video and get better than SD quality on
encrypted channels).
(they also offered the DCT-5100, but from what I can tell, that box is
crap)
- Is there a 3rd party mythtv friendly cable box that I can/should purchase
instead? (I'm going to uess the anwer is no, but just making sure :) )
But anyway, am I going to get anything with the $10 I'll be paying comcast
for the box (which I'm told I can't really buy myself), or should I just
return the box, stick with Hd-Homerun, and forget about all encrypted
channels?
Thanks,
Marc
