[mythtv-users] Jump to HD from PVR-150

[Joseph Kezar]

I currently have a digital converter box connected to a homemade antenna.  I
get all my local channels which is enough for me.  I have the digital
converter box plugged into my analog PVR-150.  I dont think I need to worry
about encryption as I do not have a cable/satalite provider.
