Hi all,
I am just started to look into building my own PVR and
this project looks amazing! I am now facing what I
feel the most critical decision regarding harware
components. Should I get for the Hauppauge
WinTV-PVR-350 or the pcHDTV3000? I would
wholeheartedly go for the HDTV card if I knew that I
could use it in the future. I understand that it has
no QAM support for set-top boxes yet, but even if it
does, that would not work for HD encrypted feeds. If
I wanted to get the encrypted feeds I would need a
composite HD card, and those are very expen$ive (and
still may not work with some cable boxes)! So I ask
the users here:
1) What is the best thing to do so I can record HDTV
today and in the post-broadcast flag future?
2) Is it inevitable that someone will "configure" the
drivers of HD cards to use Myth effectively or must we
settle for ASTC/NSTC signal quality?
3)Finally, if "the Flag" is present in a broadcast,
can't it be ignored by the Myth software and still
read the HD feed?
Thanks in advance,
Julian
