Dual TV Tuner / Capture

[arkight]

OK i need some help i am looking for a TV tuner/ capture card. I am running windows 7. What i want is something that i can plug in an antenna into and have another input for cable. I am trying to use this as a DVR wht HD capability. Is there anything out there that can do this for me or what is the best way to do this?

Thanks

Now days Cable TV video is digital and encrypted. You need a special kind of tuner to receive Cable TV programming, one what supports CableCard.
Cable companies required to rent it to you, usually at low rate of $5-6/month,
However there very limited amount of such tuners available on the market.
Ceton InfiniTV 4 is one of them, however it's $400 plus cost plus issues and delays with shipping doesn't make it easy product to get...
Honestly besides Ceton, ATI used to make such tuner, but they dropped it

Thanks for the link. You mentioned ATI used to have one do you remember what they called it i might be able to find one.

Also what would be a recomendation for a tuner that would just get basic cable and the off the air stuff or will i need two seperate cards to do that.

Some people sell them here, but without support from ATI I don't know if I would buy it:

Regarding over the air stuff, well, I'm not sure why would you want Over the air in addition to cable, but Hauppauge makes pretty strong products, unfortunately only good for clear QAM, not for cable stuff.

One more thing, your cable company will force you to have their own tech install and configure the cablecard - it's not straightforward process.
