To record digi cable and/or HD shows from your cable box, you can
request a cable box with firewire output, search this list for more info
on this, its been covered extensively.
You know, I started by trying to find the archives. But I never would've
thought of looking for firewire stuff. If I can get one of those, that'd
be the easiest place to start, I imagine.
Depending on what channels your
cable co lets thru on the firewire, it may be all you need, cutting out
a capture card completely.
That'd be awesome. Though I could see wanting some sort of combination of
inputs at some point.
If they arent that generous on the amount of
channels comming in over firewire, then yeah youll need a cap card, and
svid is about as good as it gets...and yes youll need an ir blaster to
control the cable box to change channels etc. For OTA HD shows, you can
get a few cards, the pchdtv3000 and air2pc being 2 of them, I use both
with no problems, and just hook up an antenna and see what channels you
get OTA. If its just shows on regular cable (below channel 125) then
you can just a cap card that has coax input and hook it up to the cap
card, itll tune up to channel 125 on most cards, altho my experience has
been cable cos usually dont go above 80-90 with analog cable. Hope this
helps some.
Yeah, thanks a lot!
