[QUOTE="kszabo, post: 1077032, member: 61646"] As Edalex wrote, you have to know what kind of signal you have. In your case it must be DVB-C (digital video broadcast - cable, not -S for satellite or -T for terrestrial, and not iP-TV for television over internet connection). You must buy a DVB-C tuner card. I guess there are some free channels and some encrypted ones in your package. Maybe all are encrypted. If you want to watch encrypted ones, you need a tuner card with CI Module (common interface). This is a slot practically. Now the last thing you have to know, what encryption UPC austria uses. You need a CAM (conditional access module) that supports that encrypting algorhythm (nagra, conax, viaccess...). You need an additional Smartcard from upc austria (this defines the encryption algorhythm), put this into CAM, put this into the CI slot and you are ready to go. This is quite expensive.... CI, CAM, additional card... And now to CI+.... Some HD channels will be encrypted with HD+ method. There are no official supported way to use HD+ technology on PC. But there are some CAMs they can do that, like Unicam. Success is not guaranteed. They cost about 100€. I use unicam evo with sky germanfrom satellite and it works. You have to do some research to get answers to these questions and afterwards do some calculations if you want to spend about 250-300 € on this... [/QUOTE]
