Default BBC HD via cable using HTPC?

Hi;

Thinking of building a HTPC, and thought it would be great to be able to watch BBC HD (Euro 08) on this.

What hardware/software is required to be able to watch HD BBC, using virginmedia cable attached to my dbox?

Would be great to watch Euro 08 in High Def, without a dish!

you won't be able to do this with ur dbox as it doesn't support hd u'll need a dvb-c card but once u get this, do all ur reading, set it up, Euro2008 will be over.......therefore go down the pub.
