It was actually what Ron said - I assumed that SDTV meant analog SD and
not digital SD. The description of this card on cyberestore.com says it
will do SDTV and that was my confusion.
I had a pcHDTV HD3000 card, but I didn't think it was as good as the
Air2PC HD5000 card for HD tuning. The HD3000 also received analog
signals, but the picture was very bad IMHO. I have a DVico Fusion Lite
card now. The analog picture is pretty good, however, when tuning from
digital to analog in Myth (maybe in everything, I have only tested in
Myth), the analog picture freezes up - but only for the first channel I
try to switch to. So some of my recordings are just a frozen image of
that channel when the recording starts. That was the reason for trying
to find another card.
So anyway, hope all of that helps someone else who is trying to figure
out what card is best for them! ;) I'm still searching for a single
card solution for both analog and digital (until the whole world goes
digital and I don't have to worry about this anymore!). So I would love
to hear success stories from anyone with a good single digital/analog
card that works with Myth!
Thanks
Steve
