[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1196853, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome WildBill No. Yes, MediaPortal supports Ceton, SiliconDust and Hauppauge CableCARD tuners. Almost certainly not. MediaPortal can receive (view or record) content that is flagged as copy-freely (no restrictions). MediaPortal cannot receive content that is flagged with copy-once restrictions. Most if not all cable providers flag all content on "premium channels" with copy-once restrictions in all their markets (cities/areas). Unless Comcast has made an exception for the area you live in ([B]extremely [/B]unlikely), your "premium channels" will be flagged with copy-once restrictions. Therefore MediaPortal won't be able to receive them. Yes, with very careful configuration and management. However I'd usually recommend using either WMC or MediaPortal exclusively. Yes, as indicated above and [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/0_TV_Card_Features#Supported_Tuners']in our wiki (manual)[/URL]. It's clear that you're a little confused. Software that "supports CableCards" may or may not be able to receive "premium channels". Anyhow, if you want to be able to view and record "premium channels" with a PC, as far as I'm aware WMC is the only solution. [/QUOTE]
