Don't have one, but it should. Digital cable here also includes the
analog channels on the analog (basic cable) frequencies.

The 5500 is a dual tuner card...it will do both analog and HD/digital.

If you split it enough to drop signal strength below a certain level,
you'll get dropouts and pixellation, whereas the analog signals just get
noisy/snowy.

Can't help you with that one, as I don't have a PVR-500.
