I am in need of a standalone PVR that records onto USB that receives NTSC from cable TV band.
Are there any that can both NTSC and ATSC?

Thanks
 
Doesn't your cable provider send the NTSC channels as clear QAM simultaneously?
Right off hand I don't know of any that will do all 3 'flavors (clear QAM/ATSC/NTSC)
There's only one I know of that uses USB 'storage' and that's only ATSC - Mediasonic HomeWorX HW150PVR with clear QAM via unsupported firmware.
 
If you are using a TiVo with TiVo desktop and 3rd party software, you can decrypt the OTA/QAM signals that are not encrypted.
 
The cable provider is an in-house one that only does NTSC on channel 20. Thanks for the idea tho. I have the 150 box and it does fine with my antenna.
