how about a digital tuner card? just the same as analogue but its digital!!What type of hardware do I need to be able to set up a freevo box with digital cable?
Uh... digital cable isn't based on a standard like broadcast cable. There aren't tuner cards for it.
This kind of smartass answer is what makes people new to Open Source think we're jackasses.
no, the jackass thing comes from mails like yours, not the answers. and what the hell has this to do with opensource!? ask someone at microsoft about your problem, i dont thing they would be more friendly just because the dont offer code for free...
anyway. of course there are cards for digital television (3 ones to be exact: using satellite, using terrestal radio and using cable) sat cards have been around for a while, and hauppauge for example, offers cards for digital cable too (at least in europe). you still need a decoder for most digital channels... no watching all commercial free channels without paying... (dont know about terrestal radio cards)
best way to get you hardware is got to your next local computer store and ask someone there... they get paid for talking to you.
