I've had my STB connected to my PC for some years now using the aerial socket out of the STB via some coax to a Hauppauge WinTV card in the PC. In my case I also use a video amplifier because I route the STB to two bedroom TVs as well.

My original WINTV card I bought about 8 years ago and has worked fine for watching TV on the PC but not much good for recording.

The new card I bought about three months ago and is brilliant. It has a hardware encoder which means DVD quality video can be recorded direct to your hard drive, an hours worth of video will take about 2Gb.

Cost of the WinTV PVR150 is about £80 or less on eBay. I bought the MCE version which cost me about £60.

MCE def. the one to go for - instead of a mini jack for audio, has propper RCA Jacks
