Im in the process of building a mythTV box and have been getting rather
great information...I do have one other question..

I am wanting the capability of the pvr-500 but i have
been reading about the problems about it with myth..

So i was thinking of getting 2 pvr-350's instead...

which of course im sure would be able to accomplish recording
and viewing another channel at the same time..

How would i record channels higher the the 125 channel limit
of the cards...being the reason i have the cable box(motorola) is of
course for your premium channels.

would i need to get a pvr-350 and a regular video capture card
or would i need to still get 2 pvr-350's. what i was thinking
was if i got 1 pvr-350 and one regular capture card i would
split my cable signal and hook up one cable line straight 
to my pvr-350 and my cable box to my regular video capture card.


or is this the best solution:

i read though that i can set a permanent channel for a tuner card
like i would on a vcr and be able to record channels higher than
the 125 channel limit of the pvr-350. would this be the best option
for myth.
