Comcast
Possible HD cable box firewire for HD capture
5C could prevent lots of channels from being captured

Is the 5C a digital cable box model? I love the idea of firewire out - I have a Mac (imagine the possibilities!!!)

Possible QAM for HD tuner
limitied channels if it works



DirecTV
No HD into Myth

Interesting. So I guess that DirecTV is no longer an option.


OTA
singal reception problems
only OTA channels


   Is there a card that will work well for all?

no card that I know of does HD and SD together well. If you want to do 
QAM/ATSC, then get a cheap HD tuner card, ~$100 and if you want to do SD get 
a PVR-150, ~$70 or PVR-500 ~$150.

What is QAM/ATSC? I am not familiar with these terms?

Wikipedia sais QAM is "Quadrature amplitude modulation". I have no idea what that is.
Also, ATSC is NTSC for hi-def?

Thank you so much!




Thanks,
