I don't do HD myself (I guess I'm behind the times with my analog cable), but yes, it can be done. However, if you plan on using a system with a proprietary system (pretty much anything but OTA in the U.S.), then you'll have to use their set-top box to receive (and decrypt) the channels, and then record them on your MythTV machine. This can be done by Composite/S-Video, coaxial (if your set-top box outputs in coaxial) or (possibly) Firewire.
You'll also need to have some method for MythTV to switch channels on the set-top - either a serial cable (if supported on your set-top box) or an IR Blaster. Also, note that apparently decoding HDTV in MythTV requires a pretty beefy CPU and video card. You should search the archives for suggestions from other people who are successfully doing this. -- Joe --- Neil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Is it possible to record Discovery HD or other > non-local broadcast HD from > Dish Network, Direct TV, Comcast or other program > providers using HTPC? > Right now, I only have OTA HD recording via air2pc. > > Any comments will be greatly appreciated! > > Thanks, > > Neil > _______________________________________________ > mythtv-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
