Hello everyone,
I've been searching the forums and haven't found any real good information on this so I thought I would try posting a new thread. I'm trying to watch HD Satellite here in the USA using a set top box. I'm looking for a capture card that MediaPortal supports that can handle HD input. I've read that it is not possible to have HDMI out from a STB and into a PC due to the HDCP copywright protection. Is component video subject to the same restrictions given that it is analogue format? Are there any capture cards available, that work with MediaPortal, and that support component video input?
Are there any STB's out there that output ATSC signal in the form of coax so I can use an ATSC HDTV Tuner card? I'm trying to figure out a viable setup for a HD MediaPortal box while utilizing Dish Network or DirecTV. Cable is an option but I'd rather not go that route. Any suggestions (even if they're cable) are welcome.
Thanks.
