[QUOTE="FantaXP7, post: 410388, member: 88166"] I have read many things about cable card tuners, mainly that they come in pre-configured machines and that supposedly an external usb tuner was going to be made. Well I have found a few sites that sell the usb unit which is weird because I thought they had never hit the market. Anyways, should these tuners that the sites sell be the real deal, would media portal be able to support such a tuner? Edit: I was searching around and saw that there is a discussion over at the green button forums on the ATI Digital Cable Tuner. I have downloaded a OCCUR checker and it verifies that my motherboard is OCCUR compliant. This means that it will work with a cable card tv tuner. I was extremely interested now knowing that my motherboard is compliant as many aren't. This is all ofcourse for an internal tuner, I am not sure what the difference is with the external unit. Anyways, I read on and found out that you will also need a PID key which you cannot just buy but must acquire from someone who already has a cable card tuner. This may prove to be very difficult. Either way, external or internal, I do hope that I can find a cable card solution for my pc. [/QUOTE]
