I say finally, but this device has been on the market for 2 years now, and I'm just now reading about it. It's USB2 and Firewire. I've been googling about it for about a half hour now and I'm not seeing any mention of it in relation to MythTV, and I don't know if that's because of the pricetag, or the fact that it doesn't appear you can buy it without the bundled software?

$1000 is pretty steep. Don't know if it's standards-based or not, but theoretically, if the device could be bought seperately for $500, I'd *almost* be willing to give it shot, just for the number of different inputs it accepts.

EDIT

I'm looking over the support database and found the following, fearing that only the firewire-in is HDV:

That actually raises more questions that answers. Avid Liquid Chrom HD? I haven't seen that anywhere on their site...I guess I'll keep looking...

I managed to find this website: http://www.emedialive.com/Articles/Read ... leID=11283

Looks a little pricey tho...

pftt. Only $8000. Chump change!
