You mean an actual PVR or a PVR card?. If the card, who's your
television provider?

I had a rather rude shock shortly after moving back to western Canada.
Shortly after acquiring a PVR-250 (hauppauge) and *finally* getting
all my MythTV stuff to work, the buggers at the default Cableco (Shaw)
switched everything to digital. This renders my analog card fairly
useless unless I want to manually preset the channels on the digital
box, and apparently the digital signal is encrypted so a digital PVR
card would be equally unhelpful.

I was led to believe it was the same with Rogers/Bell. Is this not the case?
