A friend (and former PLUGer) is looking into media PC solutions, and I pointed out the HomeRunHD since it seemed to have good reviews when I was looking my self. However, I think things have changed with respect to cable transmission since I was interested -- do you need extra hardware to decrypt a signal (compared to using a new LCD tv?) or can you just plug the video in device into the cable as though it were a TV?
Any insights would be great! His email to me is below, for some context.

It says it doesn't work with "encrypted" cable channels. I'm not sure what that means, but I suspect it only supports basic cable. Although, it may mean it just doesn't support pay per view, hbo, on demand, etc. Do you know much about that? Or how we might check how well it will work before buying it?
