Re: Media Center and NTL
AFAIK you won't be able to use a DVB-C card - part of the STBs function is to decrypt the streams using propriatory encryption. I'm sure there are other reasons to do with the pairing of the card, the STB, etc. but someone else will need to explain them. (Not to mention that using anything except the STB is breaking the T&Cs).

The only way I've seen for Cable is to use an analogue TV capture card and IR blaster.

There are some ways of capturing the FTA Sky channels using a DVB-S card and I've heard of PC systems that can decrypt the full range of channels - again I'm not too convinced about the legal side of that though.
