Nope. That is all part of a proprietary data stream that is usually  
only understood by the STB provided by your cable company. The  
pcHDTV3000 is only a HD capture card, and it's possible that that  
card probably couldn't capture your digital cable standard by being  
directly connected to your cable line (your signal is probably  
encrypted, but I can't say for sure)

I'm sorry to say, that without some kind of TV listing grabber,  
you're kind of up a creek.
