I'm thinking about building a new media center pc and i was wondering if the tv tuner picked up just local channels,or if i could simehow hook it up to my cable(soon to be dish)?
The cards I have experience with will pick up the analog cable channels (roughly 100 & under on charter). For the digi channels you need to use the rca line in which means far less flexible scheduled recording. I believe this is where the ir blaster comes in.
