Can a Windows Media Centre PC connect to an NTL Digital Box?

I was thinking of getting an Elonex Artizan Media Centre PC but will it connect to my NTL digital Box?

Yeah I use composite out from the Samsung STB to composite in on the TV card of my media centre PC and it works fine.

if it is one that has

Dual hybrid digital and analogue tuner for either FREEVIEW or analogue TV reception
then, theoretically, yes, but you would probably need to get a scart to s-video/composite convertor, as I presume the 'aerial in' of the MCPC is to be used for the freeview function.

I'm sure Elonex can give you a definitive answer and if you specify that is what you want to do when you place the order & it doesn't work, they are liable for it being 'not fit for the purpose'.
