Brandon - Nice to hear efforts are underway to get the 3000 working with unencrypted QAM over cable. I have Detroit Area Comcast and I understand most of the local HD stations are available unencrypted over cable. This may mean the difference between installing the pchdtv card in my current

I've been watching this thread with interest, but have a question regarding statements referring to over cable. Are we speaking about digital cable, or analog? Forgive me if QAM or some other acronym should easily answer my question. I'm not yet familiar with all of the terms. Garry W. Cook, CCNA

Can someone explain then what the hopes for recording encrypted HD digital cable content with the HD-3000 or a similar device? I know there are smart cards and the like, which TiVo intends to support, but what hope is there that MythTv will be able to support such schemes? For me, and prob.

Hardware: -- Do the HD-2000 work better, or are better supported than the HD-3000 cards? I find the 3000 cards work much, much better in my setup than the 2000 cards. The 2000 cards appear to have too small a hardware FIFO, so in some machines they may not be able to get access to the PCI bus
