The PVR tuners can also capture and encode composite and S-Video signals. Basically pre-tuned analog signals carrying a single channel. Essentially these inputs bypass the tuners, and feed the encoders directly. On the PVR-500 each encoder can be fed from one of the coax, composite or s-video inputs. On the standard backplate there is a coax input that feeds both tuners and one s-video and one composite input that go to one encoder each. You'd hope that these go to separate encoders, meaning you could capture s-video and composite inputs simultaneously but I don't know; they might go to the same one meaning you could only use one or the other. A separate adaptor exists, providing connections to the other composite and s-video inputs allowing the full options on both encoders to be used. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
