[olug] HDTV capture cards...

[Eli Criffield]

It doesn't do any of that, I haven't looked into hacking it, It has ports
all over it for god knows what, (DVI, ethernet, USB, firewire, IR,
SmartCard, Fiber Optic, others i can't remember)  so I'm betting someone
has hacked it to extract the video.
                                                                                
but it can record digital channels, which is possible with myth, i got
myth to send an IR signal from a thing i soldered together to a digital cox
box, but it was a huge pain in the ass and wasn't very reliable it would
get the channel wrong all the time, and was very slow to change channels
that way.
                                                                                
And what good is it it can't record COPS and Forensic Files off corttv?
                                                                                
Don't get me wrong though Mythtv is one of the coolest things I've seen in
a long time, But for the lazy there is an easer way and even cheaper way :)
