I tried sending a message to the list earlier but I don't believe it
went through, so I will try one more time.
I want to use MythTV to capture and distribute HD content from DBS
networks such as Voom, DirecTV, Digital CATV and other HD sources. To
my knowledge, there is not any hardware available to essentially take a
DVI input or something of that sort to preserve a totally digital signal
path. Note I am not worried here about capturing over-the-air ATSC HDTV
signals. I know there are good tuner cards out there that do this
(however, I am not clear on whether any of the tuner cards support the
new Zenith 5th generation ATSC chipset, which significantly improves
reception issues -- anyone knowledgeable on this?)
The only option I know about right now would be to take DVI out, put it
into an SDI converter (expensive) and buy an SDI-based MPEG capture card
(expensive) and pray I don't run into compatibility problems (unlikely).
Does anyone know of a better solution for pure-digital capture of HD
signals? For that matter, is anyone distributing an HD signal using
MythTV that *isn't* coming off an OTA ATSC tuner card?
