HDHR: Can it tune analog cable?
I just got my first HDHR up and running, and am able to tune into the QAM HD channels just fine. However, I was under the impression it can also tune the analog channels (which I am doing now with a bunch of PVR250's). Can this be done? If so, how? And can I tune both QAM/Analog, or would I have to make a choice per tuner? Thanks!

http://www.silicondust.com/products/models/hdhr-us/ seems to indicate digital cable (clear QAM) and ATSC (over the air digital) only, so no analog cable.

Avoid cheap usb analog tuners. They most likely use software encoding which is bad. You get poor quality video and I also had problems with audio drift. Look for ones that use hardware encoding.
