I read the post about the new all in wonder card and I fugure what the heck maybe its time to play with one. My question is this, what happens when tv broadcasting goes all digital? Will this tv tuner card work?
In fact right now I am on cablevisions IO digital cable. Won't I be losing some functionality because I have to tune through the cable box? Maybe I can still get some analog channels, but I am pretty sure all the premium stuff is digital.
Thanks for the help. If you have any links to knowledgable sources or places that give away free money, please post 'em here.

You're right, only certain channels are broadcast in "digital" when you buy "digital cable" - the remainder, and majority, are analog.

If you go with the AIW it will be capable of tuning in the analog channels. If you want the digital channels you would require another decoder box from your cable company. Just run an output into the video card. Not sure what software you'd use to view the input tho...
