</div>My question would be, why are you so keen on getting something that has<br>
hardware mpg encoding when you don't care about analog? Digital TV<br>
signals already come pre-encoded as mpeg, so your card doesn't need to<br>
do any hardware encoding.... It would need to do hardware encoding if<br>
you wanted to encode your analog signals in hardware instead of software<br>
though.<br>
Another point about the digital signals: you may care about analog, as<br>
the digital channels for your cable may be mostly encrypted.<br>
