[ale] MythTV, older analog cards

[Jim Kinney]

Cartoon network, SyFi, Discovery and many others are gone from analog
cable. What's left is 20+ shopping channels, local stations and a few
others.

In order to watch nearly anything, you now MUST have a digital box
(these send time per channel data upstream) and are not computer
controllable unless there is an external universal remote that is
controllable by a pc.
