Like yourself I have both a Rogers Digital TV Box, Rogers Analog (channels
1-80 or so), and recently Rogers Digital over QAM 256.
With a HD3000 you can receive about 40 or so Digital TV stations that are
transmitted unencrypted. I do this to receive channels 102 through about 130
or so, plus some sports net channels. No HD stations are broadcast in the
clear.
As for a digital cable box, it's not "useless for Myth" I feed it into a PVR
250 card using SVideo, and use an IR Blaster to control the channel.

I currently have an analog card to pick up my Rogers cable channels but
are you telling me that with a DVB-T card I can get the digital
channels? I have a digital box but its useless with Mythtv. The analog
signal looks crappy so if I can get the digital signal, that would be
awesome.

Ok, I'm making some progress on this, but *wow*, this shouldn't be this hard. Not to discourage new folks - it's not crazy hard, just seems like we could do a better job of centralizing info and automating processes.... I know, I know, I'm welcome to do it. Wish I understood better what I'm doing, then maybe I would....
To all, FWIW, Geoffrey's post above has been very useful. One issue I have is that I found that ESPNHD was unencrypted (when scanning under windows), but it doesn't seem to have shown-up under this method. Also, there are several channels which are missing an identifier. Anyonw know why these two situations would arise?
