TV capture cards (AGP Tuner) [tv capture cards] [tv capture card]
Q: I currently have all the premium channels including HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, and so ordered by my cable company. but to see them, I have a descrambler box using the cable company. I can look them straight from the TV capture card, without the box? or would I need a box? many thanks.
Re:Yes sure you can. TV tuner cards (if not integrated onto the graphics card) usually are PCI cards. The video stream is pushed by the TV card – either into your graphics card's overlay buffer for realtime viewing, or into main memory for other purposes.
Re:thanks for the both responses. i remember from reading somewhere in this forum that it waspossible to have an agp card and a tv tuner both plugged in at the same time without any conflicts. is this true? and if so, how would it work out?
Re:I would guess tha you still need the box. It could be possible to descramble the signal via software, but I would recommend using th box.
Re:Try it without the box and see what happens.
