Cable direct to PC no STB - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Does anyone know of any PCI / software / Cam combo's that can be used to route my cable signal direct to the PC eliminating the STB?
I'm not worried about extra chanlles I just want to use the standard cable channles in a media PC?

Want to stay away from Firewire options if possible ???????

There are PCI cable TV cards like this one - eBay.co.uk: TECHNOTREND DVB-C 2300 PREMIUM PCI CARD -> For Cable TV (item 130097432138 end time 13-Apr-07 20:42:22 BST)

Is that what you're looking for?

This is the type of card I'm lookig for but I have not been able to find any info that states conclusively that these cards will work with UK DVB-C?

I am looking some sort of confirmation before I start to spend cash..

Cheers

I'm hoping someone can help...

I got a technotrend c1500 yesterday, I have used a Coax plug to F socket to attched cable but donlt seem to be able to find any channels running scans?

I've tried Mytheatre and MythTv but can find anything, not sure what I'm doing wrong???
