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.With Dish Network or Directv you will need to either 1) get their PVR, or 2) modify your receiver with the 169time mod ( http://169time.com ).
Any comments will be greatly appreciated!
For cable you can receive QAM channels as long as they are not encrypted, which as Brad mentions could change any time the cable company feels like it. Also, there have been some issues with QAM on the Air2PC. Some people have had problems. Looks like, at least until the new Air2PC comes out, the HD3000 may be a better option for QAM. I have both cards (and an HD2000) also, but I don't use cable (for TV anyway) so haven't tried QAM.
