Re: [Freevo-users] Possibly stupid question

[Justin Wetherell]

Let me start out by saying; I know bits and pieces of info, so I might not be 100% correct (or even 10%). You can receive a digital signal with alot of the available cards but I believe that the US cable companies haven't opened up the system to allow them actually decode the signal. So you will still need to fork the signal through the cable box first unless you are using an HD antenna.

Hello everyone.

Before I ask this question, I want to say that I've searched
linuxtv.org, the archives for this mailing list, google, and a few other
digital cable related websites, and I couldn't find an answer.  Doesn't
mean it's not out there, just that I couldn't find it.

So, here's the question.  Are there any tuner cards out there that work
with digital cable in the US?  I have Adelphia cable in the Buffalo
area, and get a bunch of channels on digital cable, so I don't want to
build a box that doesn't support digital cable.

From what I've found, there are a ton of cards that support European
digital cable, but I haven't been able to find any information either
way for the US.

Thanks in advance, and I'm sorry for the basic/stupid question.
Rick
