HTPC Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250

[maple_syrup]

Building a modest HTPC with Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 dual tuner. It has 2 analog tuners with hardware encoders and 2 digital TV receivers for ATSC or clear QAM. I will have OTA (yet to install) and Rogers HDTV Dig. box as two main feeds. Since I am noob @ this, please explain where do I connect these.

- gallery section shows how to connect but still not clear. Correct me if I am wrong - TV in on the card will take coax ATSC in from OTA and A/V input will take feed from the Rogers Box. So how do i connect a third component if I have to in the future - Do i split the input with a cable? How will switching from these 3 feeds work on the TV?

HVR-2250 is meant to be for SFF and SINGLE SOURCE INPUT eg Dual ATSC tuner...or dual tuner for cable (analog cable for Canucks as there is no QAM even on the basic channels that you paid for)

Unfortunately the 2250 loses a lot of value in Canada as virtually no cable companies have QAM channels. (As opposed to the US)
