[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 282850, member: 26653"] Depends. Need more information on channel types (QAM or encrypted) and connection to TV (HD or S-video). Analog channels will work just plugging the cable into any analog tuner card. Unencrypted digital channels (e.g. your locals) you should be able to receive with any ATSC digital tuner card, live the Hauppauge HVR series, again just plugging the cable into the tuner card. No cable card required. Encrypted channels you'll have to use the set-top box (STB). So it's a question of how to connect the set top box to your tuner card. Probably S-video, and an IR blaster to control the STB. There is not a good way to capture HD signals via tuner card - no consumer grade HDMI input cards that I am aware of. [/QUOTE]
