    they're is no tv tuner that can get HD cable channels (eg. CNN, ESPN, FSN) without component cables + cable box. (Unless u wanna invest in a cablecard tuner)
    If your looking for an ATSC/QAM along with ur NTSC, that'll only be for local HD channels + whatever you get without a box.

    No. You can only get HD with a cablecard tuner.

    You actually have to ask for it. Every Cable provider must supply them. However the only TV Tuner card that supports them is the Ceton InfiniTV 4.


    So to stop drawing all this out. The only way your going to get an HD source into an encoder is through a capture card, or a cheaper TV card that has Composite In and an extra Cable Box.

    There's also the ATI Digital Cable Tuner that supports Cablecards.
