Can anyone answer me this question.

Lets say I have an HTPC that has a tv tuner, and an HDMI port built into the motherboard. Along with that is a graphics card that will decode HD.

Ok, here is the question. Do I still need my cable box to watch HDTV, or cable in general? The one I have now is a DVR box with HD.

Do you still receive the proper signal without the box?

I haven't seen anything on this topic.

Thanks.

I'm basically trying to record digital and HD broadcasts from the cable company(Insight) onto the HTPC.

I haven't really found anything on the actual hookup.

Here is some kind of flow chart to describe what I'm talking about.

I'd like to do:

Coax Cable(wall)--> HTPC--> HDTV

I'd still want to record digital and HD tv broadcasts.

But if that connection is not possible then what would I do if it's setup like this:

Coax Cable(Wall) -->Cable company HD dual tuner DVR Box --> HTPC --> HDTV.

How in the world do I capture TV broadcasts on my HTPC from the DVR box I am leasing from the cable company? As far as I know, there is no USB or firewire support on it.

Does that help?
