[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1093212, member: 82144"] Do you have some kind of PC capture card that you would connect the cable box to? Keep in mind that signal strength/quality readings aren't comparable between tuners unless the units (eg. dBmW etc.) are the same. Percentage (%) is not a valid unit for comparison. In other words, your cable box may give "50%" signal strength while the HDHomeRun gives "70%" from the same cable... but that doesn't mean the HDHomeRun is better. Well that depends on how you intend to connect the feed. If you connect the cable box to a capture card then you [I]would [/I]be able to receive the encrypted channels with MP. The question would be: do you have a compatible capture card? [/QUOTE]
