I have looked through the forums a little bit and it looks like you can use the new DTV receivers that have the usb jack. Do I just hook up a usb from the DTV box to a usb on the HTPC, or do I have to convert it to serial? Also, I am using a PVR350 card, I assume I use the SVIDEO connector? I have only had cable tv up until now and it just ran right to the PVR350 and I had the card tune the channels. Hopefully I can still use MediaPortal to watch and record tv now that I have DTV.

Any help or advice is much appreciated.
