does anyone know if it possible to get a digital out from your settop box?
i have a sound card with optical and coaxial in and would like to replace my pre-amp with my computer as the master controller in my multimedia setup.
there are only two outputs left on the 'box, they are both computer style interfaces, one looks like a parallel connector and the other looks like a serial connector. the other options would be to use the scart connector, but im sure that this is analogue; or to somehow get tv output from the ethernet cable?!
any replys gladly accepted.
