Check out the information from the http://www.mythtv.org folks. As far as I know, the "broadcast flag, has not yet been required of all devices. If you'll be recording Over The Air (OTA) TV in ATSC format, a lot of people like the HD Home Run unit. For the OP, your requirements can be met quite well with a Haughpage PVR-150 (which I use on my Mythbuntu box) or PVR-350 or PVR-500. All seem well supported. I record from my DirecTV receiver using the S-Video input on the PVR-150. The PVR series mentioned are analog capture only. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
