in conjunction with an external hw capture device . No matter how its done, whichever capture device you use should have the following inputs (at least from the viewpoint of someone in the US running digital cable and wants to record above channel 125):
Video: Catv (channels 1-125)
RCA/S-Video (Channels 1-?)
Audio: RCA as above
Digital (coax and/or optical)
I see having those options on any capture device essential. If its an add on box (I dont see how you can do it otherwise), please make sure it can cap with various inputs as described above. For the audio digital is viable since the Xbox already supports it going out (or am I thinking way to outside the box on that?). Last question on this, how do you (if you even plan on it) think multiple turners (can record 2 diff chans at once, or record on on input and watch LiveTV on the 2nd, etc.) will play into all this?
If Im talking about things that havent even been discussed or decided yet, I apologoze for putting the cart before the horse. I just see these as questions that alot of people either already have or will be asking about in the near future. I also subscribe to the
Mythtv Users Mailing List and many people on there ask about using or already do use and Xbox as a frontend. Are you going to post this over there (or alternatively to the
Mythtv Developers Mailing List), or would you like me to do so (if you already have I mustve missed it).
Thats all I can think of. Say good night Dick.
Good night Dick.
