mikeSI:hmm so u dont need a cable box?
Not for analog channels and clear QAM channels.
mikeSI: But what if I do run line from cable box into T.V. in on card will I get all my channels then from the box?
Yes and no. Running from the cable box you will get 1 channel, whatever channel the cable box is on. Also HD channels will not come across in HD size.
mikeSI: I am trying to get every channel I have on my cable box on my PC tuner card..Is that possible?
I am not sure about all the premium channels but yes with a caveat or 2 limiting what you can do.
mikeSI: I have been reading and noticed that alot of people say you cant record a Hd channel while watching a different anolog channel, is that true?
Depends on the tuner and if it has 1or 2 inputs. Or if you have multiple tuners you would not have that issue either.
mikeSI: Is it worth buying 2 T.V. tuner cards to install in same PC?
It depends on what you do. I actually have 3 tuners in my htpc and 2 are dual tuner cards.
