Julian,

 Right.  Except I don't see what you could achieve with hacking a
composite out, other than capture non-HD video.  But no need to hack.
All cable boxes have composite or s-video out.  Any cheap $20 ntsc tuner
card can capture composite and/or s-video.  The hd3000 could capture,
but that would be an expensive way to do it.  I guess the question you
need to find out is if comcast sends out encrypted QAM or not.
