I don't know anything more about the card then what's written there. I believe you'll still need a cable box to decrypt the signal.

I've been researching this & I'd like to build an HTPC for my 50" Panasonic TH-50PX600U TV. Initially that's all it will serve but I'd like to get into SageTV and use some extenders for my other two non-HD TVs. Here's where I'm at so far, I've got this equipment already... -Intel E6850 -4Gb of Corsa...
