There is a lot of noise on my cable line already - I have a booster on
the fork that leads to my TV (other fork goes the cablemodem) - I don't
think i want to split it again too much.
I do have one question - if we got digital cable is there a TV card out
there that would decode all of the channels for mythTV?

I'm new to mythTV and the mailing list - just thought I'd say hello -
and see what you think of the hardware I have in mind for my box.
Here's what i have planned (based off today's prices - some hardware may
get beefier when i build the box in nov/dec/jan)
MythTV box partslist:
CPU+Mobo: Athlon XP 64 2800 + Mobo
Storage: 300GB SATA
Video: Radeon 9200 SE
RAM: 1GB PC3200
Tv Capture:
* Hauppauge PVR-350
* Bt8*8 secondary framegrabber (already have) (audio via linein)
Hi Derek,
I'd seriously consider getting a PVR-150/500 card too (if you can
stretch to it now, or later) and keep the BT card as a third recording
device. Hardware cards just seem a much better investment both in
terms of quality and ease of use.

not wanting to split the cable is a good reason to get the 500. both
tuners work from just one rf input.
if you get digital cable, you'll want to hook up your cable box to a
composite or svideo input on a capture card and use an ir blaster to
change the cable box.
