hi all,

Was anyone satisfied with a tv tuner they purchased to allow viewing/recording cable/sat tv to a hard drive?
The hauppage wintv hvr-950 may be a good choice but I have found out that you cannot directly connect the coax cable coming into your residence.

i was wanting to use a splitter to send the sat signal to the set top box as regular and run a cable to the tv tuner but you have to use the splitter after the set top box decrypts the sat signal which means you can only record what the set top box is tuned to.
This means you must have two set top boxes if you want to watch/record a show and people in the same room want to watch something else.
