People with Digital Cable: How do you do it? (if you do)

[TheGameguru]

Right the PVR controls the cable box. You connect the cable box to your tuner cards svideo port or if you cable box does not have svideo then the composite port.

The tuner is actually not used in the card so the fact that the card can not tune digital channels is not important. Only the video capture and encoding portions of the cards are used.

just as a side note.. you can also just use the coax output of your digital cable/sat box to your tuner cards coax ANT input.

You dont have to use svideo or composite.

So the PVR software will detect which input the signal is coming into the computer on, or do you manually have to configure it to use specifically the Svideo, Composite or Tuner?
