[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 57075, member: 14004"] Im sorry you are correct. in NA we use ATSC and it's a straight MPEG2 signal over QAM. I meant to say decoding - so you will be able to record the video with little overhead, but watching it is another story. ;) Your system should be fine for 720p content. I have a barton 2500+ and 512mb PC3200, and I can play 720p content just fine, but it will struggle with 1080i content. as for recording digital cable, it would work in exactly the same way as if you wanted to record digital cable on, say, a VCR. you plug your Set top box into the the TV tuner card, and whatever channel you have outputing from the set top box, will be inputted into the TV card. You will have to control channel changes from the remote control that came with your set top box. Its not an easy setup, nor is it very elegant - but it's the only way to get digital cable to work. As for the remote, you can use just the Hauppauge remote. It's second in support for MediaPortal - only next to the MCE remote. [/QUOTE]
