[clug-talk] pcHDTV Cards

[Sean Watkins]

I read somewhere, that some off the Shaw STBs have firewire ports on
them, which you can hook upto MythTV - I recall also seeing some
message somewhere, that Shaw decided to turn this off. If you live in
the US, its apparantly a FCC requirement to have this open.
