I just installed an air2pc card (the version with the bcm3510) to<br>record atsc OTA. It coexists with an ivtv card and a bttv card, which<br>both record OTA. Yes, I like variety. I'm running mythtv 18.1<br>installed from rpms on FC4 with a
2.6.14 kernel. I'm in the US and<br>use zap2it.<br><br>I have some really basic questions:<br>* Do I need a second zap2it line-up for the ota-hdtv input?</blockquote><div><br>
Further down you say you've got the HDTV line up allready? <br>

E.g., I have an analog channel 7 and a digital<br>channel with the same programming.</blockquote><div><br>
I would guess, set the HD channel to a higher priority or delete the analog channel.<br>

Set their XMLTV id's to the same number in channel setup.<br>

E.g., I have a digital<br>channel 11 (identified by scanning) and an analog channel 11 that seem<br>to be completely unrelated. Will this cause a problem?</blockquote><div><br>
No, myth know's the difference. <br>

<br>single set of transcode parameters?</blockquote><div><br>
Transcoding appears to not add an aspect ratio flag to it's output files.<br>

<br>Right now, straight off the air one of the two looks pretty cruddy<br>when watching live tv.</blockquote><div><br>
I have no idea, I don't use live TV. <br>
