Not sure about the "best" way, but I'm using a basic model 311
receiver, going from the baseband (S-Video/audio) outputs to the
inputs of a PVR-150MCE card.
I'm controlling the receiver with a MyBlaster device connected to a
serial port on the Myth machine.
Been working fine for over 100 days, SD programming only obviously,
but it looks good and hasn't failed me yet.
(I'm sure I am going to regret saying that, right where the receiver
can see what I wrote ) :-))
