Confusion regarding analog / digital TV tuner card

strict9 · 2006-10-13, 04:06

Hello,

I have Comcast digital cable. I'd like to be able to record all the channels I receive. I do not receive HDTV or need to record it.

I'm looking at the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 MCE. However it's an analog TV tuner card. Does this mean I'll only be able to receive the first 50-75 channels (I have Comcast digital)?

Sorry if this is a common question but I couldn't find any answers to it. Thanks!

You'll have to run the cable box through the PVR 150 and use a blaster to change the cable box channels if you want anything other than "basic cable."

If you want to go the blaster/cable box through tv card route, there are many posts on setting up set top boxes in Media Portal.
