Hello All,
 
I am doing all my research before I dive into my MythTV HD project (I am new to Myth & Linux, and fairly new ot HD...so bare with me:).  I am using a digital cable box from Time Warner.
 
I understand that my cable stream is encrypted going into my cable box, which requires me to use their box.  But why can't cards like pcHDTV3000 read the component video coming out of my cable box.  I know it whould need to handle QAM for HD, but once that is done there is still the issue of being encrypted by the cable company.  How can that be encrypted, my TV would have to know how to unencrypt it?  Why can't I let the box do the unencrypting and just take the signal before it hits the TV?
 
Is this because it is HD?  Or digital?  Wouldn't this work on just normal analog cable, that did not need a cable box?
 
Thanks for any clarification,
Gerald S
