Digital Cable TV in the PC
I am looking into this and was hoping for
any info thats possible.
Inputting true digital tv into the computer with it being video in.
With the noise about analog tv shutting off. I am suspecting that a standard analog tv tuner card will not work anymore.
Channel changeing is done inside the program that you use
IE: Vista Media centre,Nero Mediahome, Power Cinema.
Cable tv is now inputting directly into the tvtuner card and the channels are
converted in there.
Now as I understand it, that wont happen with digital tv as you need the digital tuner box to unscramble the signal.
To me that means we loose the ability to change channels inside the computer and it becomes nothing more then a video in situation, with you having to have the digital box close by to use the remote on.
Thats a pain to me, and seems quite dumb. Now i see digital tv on the computer as inevitable.
I have read about 1 product.

That cannot be nought as a consumer. Apparently it comes as part of a system from the big boys. Dell HP,Compaq,Toshiba.
I guess what I am wondering is does anyone know of alternatives and info on this subject.
Sound off if ya have some info.
P.S. I have no tv,I watch it all through the computer. Its convenient and easy to record my stuff and I dont like the sound of analog tv disappearing even if they pushed it back a year.
