The stuff that goes into your STB is likely a digital signal, which contains completely different information (likely MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 data) and would come out as gibberish on a PVR-150. You need to use the STB to receive the channels, and then you can plug your STB into the composite/S-Video and audio jacks or the coaxial input (if your STB will output on coaxial) for a reduced quality signal. Some cable providers, in addition to the digital signal will also provide an analog signal that you can tune into with the PVR-150. However, it is highly unlikely that they will have put the particular channel you are looking for within the analog spectrum. -- Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
