[QUOTE="patrick, post: 85753, member: 12502"] I would think so but I am no expert. :) Typically, you will be able to tune the ANALOG cable channels (channels 2-99) with a regular TV card (Ex. Hauppauge PVR-500 or PVR-150) and the coax running to the card from the wall. The remaining cable channels(100+) you can run from your STB to the same TV cards svideo input.(This does tie up the STB while recording from those channels.) So with the PVR-500 (which has two tuners on one card) you could record two analog channels at the same time or one analog and one digital. A basic setup for something similar to yours: Tune your HD OTA channels with you existing card. Get a TV Card that supports additional input like svideo (ex.
