Is there a TV tuner card that does what a dbox2 does?

There are a few techontrend and hauppage dvb-c cards that will with the relevant software can't remember the model numbers now but the technotrend 2100 premium is the one i had/have got stuffed somewhere in a box.

I remember years ago I bought a dirt cheap portable b&w set. It had tuner selection for uhf and vhf. When I used the wrong frequency band, I managed to get a few channels on the old analogue cable system.

I've got a pci dvb-c card if you want - will have to wait a bit if you want as I'm not in the country atm.

Why bother,a Dbox connected to your router and you can have Cable TV on your PC anyway.Infact all your PCs on the network can have it.I even watch Football outside on my wireless Laptop.
