I just want the channel scan to be as smart as my TV's. My TV ignores all the encrypted channels, but they all show up in mythtv's scan. And with the speed of changing digital channels (and the occasional "Error displaying video" when changing to an encrypted channel) it will take hours to manually take them all out. Plus comcast doesn't broadcast a channel ID, so I guess I'll have to manually enter that. I assume myth uses that to match up with the xmltv channel. > comcast compresses kued hd so much it looks horrible. I've been thinking > I need to colocate a myth box somewhere that can get it over the air. Hmm. I just did a side-by-side, and KUED-HD does look better from my antenna. I mostly want History, Discovery, and Animal Planet from comcast. Setting up my antenna was cake. I didn't even know I was getting HD channels over my analog cable at the time. So I bought a second tuner card, expecting it to be as easy to get going as my antenna was. Turns out it's going to be a real project, but I'm blaming comcast.
