OH I see. You are right, it doesn't have anything to do with copyrights,
though. It's just that the MyHD card is simply an over the air tuner.

There is nothing that can record component video output, but you can record
via firewire from compatible cable boxes, then play it back from the roku.
Check with your cable company - the fcc has mandated that all cable
providers have to offer a firewire-capable cable box. So chances are, there
is one available for you.

Another alternative is Directv with the 169time modded receiver. That's what
I have and I use it to record from the hd channels. Email me privately if
you want more information. I play those recorded files through CinemaSix.

>From what I can tell, it can record HD off of an antenna but not cable HD.
All the HD cable channels I get that really matter are subscription channels
anyway, decoder required.  SHO, HBO, INHD1, INHD2, KPBS, DiscoveryHD.
What I desire is something that can record the component video signal out of
the cable box and allow me to store it as an MPG file.

You can record HD with a MyHD card - that's the main point! It integrates
with TitanTV.com to let you schedule recordings from the internet.

Do some reading about your card, it's very popular for hd recording. From
there you can play back the recorded files through the roku using
cinemaSix...

I recently got one and I am fairly thrilled with it.  Looks like poeople are
doing cool stuff with them.  I wish I understood a little better some of the
details that people talk about here.  My big question regarding playing back
video stored on a PC is 'Where can I acquire a HD signal to store for later
playback?'  I bought a MYHD video capture card with the understanding that
it would not be able to record HI Def directly from the cable (Dam Digital
rights managment)  The catalog did speak of a VGA input so I nievely thought
I might be able to record from this HD analog input port.  Turns out they
meant it could be used in a pass thru mode where it could share the monitor
with the normal PC video card output. No recording of signals from the VGA
port. (foiled again)  In the mean time I have a Hauppauge USB2 video capture
device that works pretty good on ordinary cable signals, at least way better
than VHS.
