which box? digital cable newbie

[liquidskin]

Hey folks,

For the past few months, I've been using my WinTV-PVR-USB2 with GBPVR. I dont have a cable box, and actually I wasnt 100% sure what service was coming through the line, because I wasnt a subscriber as there was a good line that worked from the last resident of my apartment. Regardless, the WinTV was able to pick up a good number of the basic channels, so I was fairly happy.

I guess the cable co finally figured out their mistake as I lost all service. Every channel.

I want to try to use a Slingbox to stream TV from my parent's house to mine. They have digital cable and use a HD-DVR STB. I guess what Im confused about is, what will happen if move my WinTV setup to this line? I know that this tuner only supports analog, so would I get any channels? Would I be better off with another tuner card? Recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks!

If you use an IR blaster to a STB, you could continue to use the WinTV-PVR-USB2. You'd just use the S-video and RCA audio inputs on the PVR instead of coax.
