I recall there was a presentation done about MythTV in one of the West
Side LUG meetings, so maybe someone can help me with this?

I have tried two different cards now - both via cx88 module
coincidentally. Pinnacle PCTV HD and Hauppage WinTV-DVR-1250 are the
cards, and of course I had similar results: I can watch TV via the
S-Video signal via the cable box using TVTime perfectly fine - this of
course makes DVR functionality rather difficult however.

My question is, has anyone had any better luck with Cox and their TV
Card? I only have around $80-90 to spend, else I'd go with the pcHDTV
HD-5500, but even then it seems to only support unencrypted HD. I am
unsure whether Cox even uses encryption as the tech support wasn't
terribly enlightening, so I'm wondering what you all think?

Have you had any luck using a TV card on Linux with Cox Cable? Can you
make any recommendations for cards I should try that are within my price
range?

Any feedback would be much appreciate, and happy belated holidays  :)

Just realized you were looking for an HD card, which mine is not.  I haven't looked into that at all.
