<DIV><SPAN class=436502809-19122004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am doing all my
research before I dive into my MythTV HD project (I am new to Myth & Linux,
and fairly new ot HD...so bare with me:). I am using a digital cable box
from Time Warner.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=436502809-19122004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I understand that my
cable stream is encrypted going into my cable box, which requires me to use
their box. But why can't cards like pcHDTV3000 read the component video
coming out of my cable box. I know it whould need to handle QAM for
HD, but once that is done there is still the issue of being encrypted by the
cable company. How can that be encrypted, my TV would have to know how to
unencrypt it? Why can't I let the box do the unencrypting and just take
the signal before it hits the TV?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=436502809-19122004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this because it
is HD? Or digital? Wouldn't this work on just normal analog cable,
that did not need a cable box?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
