All my experience with MythTV has been with OTA.  If I wanted to start 
capturing content from digital cable or Sat - what are my options?

As I see it:

1) pcHDTV 3000 with new QAM support (if the local cable provider is even using 
QAM encoding)
2) Low end capture card using composite video/audio in
3) If the Cable/Sat box does firewire - capture using firewire

Am I missing anything?  If I went with option (2) what cards should I look at?  
I wouldn't think I would need something as expensive as the 250/350's since I 
wouldn't use the on-board encoders.

Thanks,

PVR 250 with s-video input (gives me superb capture) . I suspect that it's as good as you can get for SD TV.

may not be applicable in the US.
