Was thinking too far down the
line.  Saw this as an opportunity to create a HD TiVO (through the
use of the MythTV software and this card)...was forgetting that I'd need
something to tune the channels.  As it'll probably be DirecTV's HD
signal...it'll already be in mpeg compression......looks like I'll just
need to get a DirecTV - DVR to do their HD - then hack that to pull the
content off.
