[mythtv-users] Digital cable...

Hi all,

I've been reading up on these DVB cards from Hauppauge. They sound cool, but 
out of curiosity, would they be able to do Digital Cable as well?

I'm honestly not sure how my Digital Cable box works, or even what data 
format my provider uses. It's a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2200 box, if 
that helps, and there is no satelite involved. The input is just like a 
normal cable except that the box is needed to decode the digital stream.

I'm pretty sure this format is incompatible with whatever format the 
Happauge DVB cards expect, but I just thought I'd ask you guys first :)

Is anyone aware of a PC card that can decode the digital cable stream 
directly?

Thanks in advance!

Desmond
