[mythtv-users] Motorola DCX3200-M

[Mark Hutchinson]

I know you could on the 6200.  Worked perfectly too.
I wonder if the 6200 is still supported by Shaw and has HD quality?

It only does composite out so I figure I can pick up a PVR-150 to capture from the DCT exclusively and work out the channel-change and recording priorities for the handful of channels worth getting from digital. Does that sound right?

It's a Motorola DCX3200-M single-tuner HD box for $138 that will get a dozen or so HD channels from the plan that I'm paying for already.
