I'm on the verge of getting a TV capture card for my PC so I can use my Hard drive as a video recorder and also pipe TV round the house on CAT 5.

Im building a Server in my living room and plan to connect the STB to the PC and the PC to the TV.

This should work fine, but the snag is I cant watch a different channel to the one im recording. I almost need the PC to have its own Decoder for NTL.

Are NTL looking into supporting this market?

Is there another way for me to make this work like a true video recorder?

I've read on this forum you can split the cable before the STB to receive analogue channels 1 - 5 plus a few more, is this an option?

thanx in advance
