Hello,
I am currently on Shaw's analogue cable service. The coax cable splits into two Hauppauge 1800 TV Tuner cards installed in my Vista Media Centre PC so I can record two programs at the same time.
I just received a trial DCT700 digital cable box from Shaw. Can I use this with my Media Centre PC and maintain all the functionality that Media Centre currently provides? For example, using the programming guide, the tuners, recording scheduled TV shows, etc.
The Hauppauge 1800's have analogue NTSC, ATSC, and Clear QAM inputs. The description states:
"Watch and record 'clear QAM' digital TV channels. Clear QAM are digital ATSC channels which are re-broadcast on digital cable TV"
What I don't understand is, the DCT700 provides tuner functions, right? How do I use the Hauppauge 1800 TV tuner cards to tune and record with?
Thanks,
