Sorry about the "Evil" post I'll try to correct myself in future postings :) I think I'm following now. QAM is how the "signal" is delivered over cable and the HD content is either scrambled or unscrambled. OTA is a more a reference for HD content over the airwaves.
Yes. OTA means "Over The Air".
If the content is unscrambled you will be able to watch HD content over cable using an HD2000 or HD3000. If the content is scrambled you'll need a cable box to watch the HD content but that content is then distributed via firewire to you Myth box.
Close, but not quite. The HD2000 does not support QAM (http://www.pchdtv.com/faq.html - BEWARE: the FAQ is NOT up-to-date; the HD3000 *does* support QAM).
There is a difference between a PVR250 or PVR350 in that they only do SD the HD2000 or HD3000 does HD.
Yes.
Am I understanding correctly? p.s. I've never heard of a "Cablecard" who makes that?
I thought twice about mentioning this, but I figured somebody would jump in and call me on it. Don't worry about it for now - it's basically an alternative to a cable box, but you must have an TV that supports it.
