Got some questions on the whole analog/digital issue. I've got digital cable from Time Warner in Orlando, Florida. I am guessing that my TV card is actually picking up the analog signal from the same cable. Questions: 1) How can I tell 2) Is there a digital tuner card out there, that will work with this provider (and linux)? There seems to be a digital WinTV card, but I'm not sure about it. Digital is a bit overused in this context: The output you grab from /dev/video0 certainly ain't analog, so when they say digial, what do they mean? 3) Is it possible to grab the digital signal as analog noise, and decode it? Has anyone tried this? 4) Is there a way to control a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2000 box, preferrably without resorting to IR output. I'd really like, if I'm going to use the cable box as a tuner, to be able to do two way communication. 5) What is the situation with satalite on the same issues?
