Re: Cable Tv on Pc
Yeah, unfortunately you're out of luck. Regardless of whether it's technically compatible with Virgin's network, they won't allow a personal device the keys to decrypt the channels.
I wish they would - I'd be first in line to buy a DVB-C tuner to pump TV into my PC - legally with my paid card. But it ain't gonna happen whilst they are able to lock people in using rented hardware.
As far as I can tell HDMI is not an option ? Do you know of a external capture card I could use as it would be a laptop if that was the option I had to use as my pc is upstairs and cable tv connection is downstairs ?
On looking @ the price of HD fury Ah don,t think so I am not prepared to spend that kind of money but a big thanks to all who took the time to answer my questions
