HDTV support[edit]
-
-
MythTV is capable of capturing HDTV streams from any source that will provide unencrypted video
-
Most U.S. cable and satellite providers use encrypted video only accessible through their own set-top boxes
-
-
At current, Windows Media Center is the only DVR software to meet these requirements, and only it, and other software using its recording libraries, can use these devices
-
In 2010, CableLabs relaxed the DRM restrictions allowing unlicensed devices to record copy freely content using these devices,[6] however it is still entirely up to cable operators what content they provide flagged as such.
-
As an alternative to direct digital capture, one can use an external decoder to receive the channels, and then capture using digital-analog-digital conversion (the analog hole). A popular means of doing this conversion is to connect the component outputs of a set-top box to the Hauppauge HD PVR.[7][8]
