As far as I know, f your talking about digital cable, th "real digital"
channels, as in the ones above 100 or so (at least where ever I've had
cable) require the cable box from your provider to des-cramble/decrypt.
So, even though I have digital cable, unless I have a box changing
stations for me, my Computer will not be able to display/record any of
the digital offerings.

That being said, you can use an IR emmiter,usb, or firewire cable to
control the channels on your cable box, via your computer. I haven't
done this, but plan on it eventually.

If i'm wrong about any of this, someone, please correct me.
