<div>Thanks for the input, that does help clarify it a bit. If I go solely off of what you've stated, then I WILL need the STB... because I will need to access On Demand.<br><br>However that DOES seem to clarify my question of using the MythTV box for "everything". I'll have the STB transmitting video to the PVR, changing channels as necessary, and outputting the signal through the video card to the TV. This means I'll have all the time shift, plus recording... but only one channel at a time unless I get a second STB =\ but that doesn't sound right...<br>
<br>So I guess it'll be an issue of getting two 150s... one that directly has the cable going to it, for all our sub-100 recording pleasure... and a second one so we can get our OnDemand and such. -but wouldn't the HVR-1800 take care of that?</div>

<div>I'm not sure of the HVR-1800 but I do know that newer hauppauge cards are not as well supported in Linux so unless you need some feature the HVR has over the PVR-150, I'd recommend more stable cards like the PVR-150 for analog and the AverMedia A180 for HD.</div>
