Dual tuner TV receiver for your PC: one analog TV tuner and one digital TV tuner
Single slot PCI Express (PCIe) X1 board, full height
Built-in hardware MPEG-2 encoder for recording analog cable TV, for the best system performance
Watch and record all ATSC formats, including the highest definition 1080i format
And (i forgot what it was model wise) a motorola cable box, is there anyway I can link these up to get digital chans on my tuner?
I.e Digital cable into cable box into tuner ? or could I do it without the Tuner? or is it even possible?
Ok so I have this tuner card

I have a Digital Cable box connected to my PC via S-Video. The short answer is yes!

But that is not Digital, it is analogue as S-Video is an Analogue connection so video quality will degrade as it leaves the digital domain.
But some form of Analogue connection from the Cable box is probably the only way of doing it as finding a Cable decoding/receiving TV card could be difficult.

True. However digital cable boxes offer limited output option. Infact many of the boxes are not truely digital
Ok, but I believe my box is linked to the tv with a cable again as it itself doesnt have any other output. I was thinking of doing a PVR to my monitor via s-component or something as my monitor supports it, but then there is no benefit from a tuner card / media center

While the cable box may be digital the output to your monitor or tv card is not likely to be digital. Since U intend to setup a PVR system U would want to connect the digital box to your tv card and not the monitor.
May I suggest Myth TV powered by a dual core processor, about 2gb of ram and tons of hard drive space (SATA)

quad core, 3.5 gb ram, resting above 550 gig shared between 3 hdd’s (sata barracidas, not raided). Ok but still just what I wanted to know was, would i get the digital chans or not?

U would receive the same quality seen on your TV
Getting back to the original topic, all you need to do is connect the output from your cable box (the one that goes to the TV(S-video or composite)) to the S-Video/composite and stereo audio inputs on your TV card..
Then you can display/record or whatever you want to do to it using the TV card
You can also use that input to connect a VCR or an old style camcorder etc if you wish to record from them…What’s known as ‘video capture’..
