Are ati tuner cards CableCard Capable?
okay so i recentley bought a Hauppauge 1250 tuner card but was dissillusioned into thinking that i would just plug in the cable cord and be able to watch all of the channels i pay for thru comcast on my computer. Wrong... I could only watch NTSC ATSC Clear QAM and analog tv, so some really crappy programming. SO i was looking around and i found that i needed a cable card in order to watch all of my programming that i pay for through comcast. Thats right, right? and i was wondering if ny tuner cards were Cable Card ready! So i looked around and saw that some ati tuner cards were cable card ready! Is that right? here are some of what i looked at! http://shop.amd.com/US/_layouts/shop/shop-amd.aspx... i chose those because they said they were cable card capable does that eman all i have to do is install them into my computer and using my cable card from comcast put it in the card, and plug in the cable and i could watch my regular programming from comcast? If not please recommend me some cablecard tuners that could do this!

Far to much money what you really need is your basic Video Card not in Video Capture yet in Video Input so you will be able to port the video to the computer....Yet and thats a big one there is no card or program that will allow you to change channels or any other way to control the DVR as its Comcast based. You are able to to record video, watch video and even transfer video to another device or hard drive. So just a basic video card and the audio card on your computer is all you really need unless you want to some other items as well.
