Background:
Comcast recently changed their signaling, and I used to get most channels without a set-top box. Now, I can only get a handful of local stations without it. I have obtained and set up all the required set-top boxes for all televisions, so they're all set.
Issue:
However, my PC (Vista, Media Center, Hauppauge PVR-150) cannot realistically be setup with a set-top box.
How can I now capture anything other than the local channels, for example, my son wants something recorded on Nickelodean (channel 25).
I don't need to record anything in HD (not a strong desire, YET :-), but it would be nice someday to be able to record HD (e.g: channel 805, Comcast's HD channel for local network affiliate)
So I would like to continue using my PVR-150 just to get normal recordings, or maybe HD.
Do I need to re-configure my Media Center settings?
I would consider getting a new video/capture device, but I only have PCI on my (old) Dell Dimension 3000. I'm not a big fan of capture/video over USB, but I'm willing to listen to suggestions.
TIA.
