[QUOTE="Maedhros, post: 270437, member: 17242"] Hi guys, I really really hope that someone may be able to help me on this. I live in Gdansk, Poland, where I have cable TV at UPC service provider. I currently only have analogue signal, but the picture is terrible when comparing to my digital sources. So I would of course LOOOOOVE to go digital. However, UPC are not yet offering this in Gdansk, but will be during the summer. UPC are telling me that I HAVE to purchase a decoder from them, after which I cursed a bit on the phone and kindly asking if I couldn't just use my DVB-C card (that I don't have yet) to take the channels. The technician said no, but did however confirm that the digital signal is DVB-C. My questions are as follows: 1) Does anyone here live in Poland some place who have tried taking UPC Digital with eg. FireDTV? And how? 2) How do I test if the signal I get from UPC may be decoded using FireDTV? 3) In general.... I want to use a media-server to take down this signal that they say I can only take down with their own decoders.... how do I do that, so I may be able to record one channel and watch another using MediaPortal?
