HDMI to USB input device

[fargodwe]

We have a weird cable setup here so I am getting an HDMI switch so I can route the cable output to my Ubuntu server to hopefully use mythtv as cable here no longer supports a TiVo at my location. In order to input to my server (a small old zbox with external drives for media storage) I need to use a HDMI to USB input device that I have used before in windows. I have never used mythtv so I have to ask if it can get its input from such a device. Thank you.

MythTV can be used with some devices that use a USB port. One example that I have previously used is a Hauppauge WinTV-DCR-2650.

Thank you for the reply. I guess I will have to find some time this weekend to install Mythtv on my little server and see if the USB device works with it. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks again.
