MythTV and Cox HD Digital TV

[Stephen]

all the ports on a cable box are essentially "dead" from the factory
and only there because "some" vendors actually use them for things.
but most do not.

your best bet is something like a TV encoder that is Linux friendly to
take the data in.

I have only found one HDMI input card but it is windows/mac only so far...

also i know they are beefing up their Linux support and suggest you
can get video in on this, but it seems sketchy

Also id suggest looking at: http://linuxmce.com/ as well lots of info there.

and i found this does digital tv in, but not sure if its HD at all or
able to support linux:

However if you break down to Composite input for HD/Digital the options expand

Interestingly enough for only about 300 you can get a huge array of inputs:

and it even has Linux support
