In my experience, whatever card can receive digital HDTV can also receive (digital) SDTV. In my area, KQED transmits five or six (digital) SD channels when it's not transmitting HDTV. It's important not to confuse digital SD with analog TV, and certainly not to use "SD" as a shorthand for the latter. The PVR-150 will only capture analog. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
