using the Air2PC or HDPC3000(?) cards do you have to have a dedicated
'service provider cable tuner' per card to capture the signal?  or can
you use the tuner on your card (A2pc or HDxxxx)?
if either/both of those cards work without the servicer providers box,
maybe i'll go that route first.  i have cable internet and used to
have cable until they went all digital.  what are my options for QAM
cards?
