I got HD working. but no ESPNHD, TNTHD, etc. ugh.
I also notice that the only channels I can get are the OTA and basic cable 
package channels. So no digital cable, no spanish package channels (no Fox 
Sports Espanol, ARGGGG!) and no Sports Package channels.

this kinda makes the firewire thing pointless as I could just as easily 
connect to a PVR-150 at a minor (if any) loss in quality.

Could I setup Myth to use some channels via firewire and some via a PVR card 
for the same cable box?
