Over & over again, I see statements like 'analog is being discontinued in the U.S.' My experience is the exact opposite. For example - nationwide it seems RV parks, apartment buildings, hotels, etc. all appear to provide analog cable signals even if their cable provider is all-digital. As far as I can figure out the cable provider sends out encrypted QAM to the RV park, who uses a master cable box to decrypt only the channels that they provide to tenants. Here's the catch - the decrypted channels are analog not digital. My Silicondust HDHR Plus tuner is digital-only; it will not tune analog channels. Of course I may be mistaken and the RV parks still have commercial-grade analog cable even if residential accounts are all-digital.
Is there a USB analog tv tuner that is currently manufactured & supported in Mythtv? I suppose ethernet like my Silicondust tuner would work also. Google & forum search has not been my friend on this one.
Recommendations welcome.
