[mythtv-users] Does Hauppaugh HVR 2250 work with Myth

[Paulin]

Mark,
The 1250 does support MPEG Encoding (requires software encoding) which is
why I didn't want to go with it.  Let me know how it goes with the 1800.
 That seems like it supports what I'm looking for.  I"m not worried about
analog as it goes away in 5 months and my cable provider already is sending
digital signals.
