Hi,
I know there are cards on the market that will allow you to capture and tune to individual Freeview terrestrial digital channels (in the UK), but is there a way of directly capturing and tuning individual sky digital or better yet for my purposes, digital cable channels?
I specifically subscribe to NTLs home cable service but their set top box is very limited, with only 2 SCART and RF output. No SPDIF.
I would like to utilise a PCI card to tune and capture these digital channels in exactly the same way that Freeview card does, doe anyone know of a solution? I realise that I could get an ordinary RF TV tuner card and you the RF out of the box and tune to that, but I am then dependant on having the box near the HTPC and recording whatever Im viewing.
Its not that the Freeview package isnt worth considering, its just that it doesnt show the one channel that I seem to watch the majority of the time Sky One.
