I'm not speaking for these, (and understand #2 is gone) but I'm curious as to why you're getting rid of them; what are you using in their places? As for me, I've got a few SiliconDust HDHomeRun tuners that work pretty well for unencrypted digital cable. I've also got a couple of Pinnacle "PCI HDTV" cards that give indications of working outside of Mythtv (e.g. with tvtime), but that so far I'm at a dead end with on MythTV. I've sort of got the impression that analog tuning is broken in MythTV 0.24 but am interested to know if your PVR-150 is any more usable as tuner for analog cable signals than the Pinnacle card is. And interested in any other comments, of course, which is why I'm not replying off-list .. mm _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
