Cable Extender
September 12th, 2009
Streaming TV from a cable box, through a PC Tuner and onto a Media Center Extender?
How should I go about streaming live Cable/Satellite TV, through a PC running Vista Media Center and onto a Media Extender preferably in HD?
Also, I have read in places that it may not be possible to stream premium channels through any PC that isn't factory built and approved by the tv companys, is this the case? If so, are there any ways around it?
Is there a suitable TV tuner out there for this task, will the Hauppage WinTV-HVR-1600 do the job?
Will the DVR functions work correctly?
Thanks.
I am a long-time user of Media Center and have been after this kind of functionality since the start. So far, you can only get digital cable if you buy a computer that has a protected signal path and install a cable card. You cannot do this with DirecTV yet, but the HR-21PC is in beta testing now, which is a way to use DirecTV with Media Center. There is virtually no available information on the subject so far.
You might enjoy the web site http://www.thegreenbutton.com and you can also keep up with progress on this matter at that site.
