The article says it includes an "audio cable to connect to your sound card." Is this for real? I thought that audio cable stuff was back in the bt848 class stuff, and modern capture cards didn't need it. (My PixelPro PlayTV has the cable, but I don't consider it "modern.")
More importantly, before the Broadcast Flag gets purchased/legislated, I plan to buy a pair of HD capture cards to put in my Myth box, and use Myth frontends as set-top boxes after NTSC cutoff. (One to watch, one to record.)
If this thing needs an audio card, it means 2 of them need 2 audio cards or a specialty card, and we're starting to get into box-stuffing problems. (Only 3 PCI slots in my Myth box)
