I have an HP dv9620us laptop with a busted screen. To continue to use an otherwise good laptop, I'm thinking about using it as a MythTV FE/BE. If I connected an HDHomerun, would this be capable of capturing and displaying cable HD content?<br>

Digital recordings are trivial. You merely have to be able to save a stream at 19mbps (2.4MB/s). As for playback, a 1.9GHz Ath64 should have no problem.<div class="im"><br>

I do not plan to use an antenna. Would I be able to receive both unencrypted digital AND analog digital over both of the HDHomerun inputs.<br>

What exactly is 'analog digital'? As for analog, the HDHR is digital only, and cannot capture analog signals. If you want analog capture on a laptop, you need to get a USB tuner.<br>

I'm trying to figure out if I'm getting the terminology mixed up, or if I would really be limiting myself to fewer channels...only clear-QAM and not analog.<br>
