That would be the best approach as you can have two fully functioning tuners via coax(for analog channels) plus full use of your STB(while recording analog channels) and you would only tie up the STB when you need the upper digitalchannels. So how I would do it:- Split the coax at the wall, run one end to the STB and the other to the PVR-500. - Run svideo out from the STB into the PVR-500- In MP configuration.exe, Clear any existing channels- Make sure your cards are configured properly- Run auto-tune on both cards - Enable the zap2it plugin.- In the zap2it plugin config Advanced options, select Automatically add new digital channels with an external video input of svhs.- Enable channel renaming.- OK out of the plugin config and configuration.exe- Run MP and let the plugin download the listings.This may take 20-30 minutes of so for the first time depending on # of channels, days and PC speed.Sorry for the confusion, I just mentioned my setup so you could see the difference between svideo alone and coax+svideo.Hopfully I did not create more confusion <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />HTH,patrick</blockquote>
