DVB tuner cards for PCs seem to support 125 cable channels. My (USA) cable provider uses many 100s of channels starting with channel 2 & going as high as into the 800s. Obviously many of these channels appear to be beyond the range of such tuners.
I understand the difference between analogue & digital TV transmission but can't seem to find anything which discusses what the (apparently standard) 125 tuner channels will actually tune. I'm guessing it may be the analogue channels inclusive of 1 through 125. MY QUESTION THEN IS: Are there any tuners which can tune all of the digital channels as well? A lot of the desired cable programming I'm paying for is above channel 125 (probably digital). I would like to access it from my PC using a DVB device rather than a STB coupled to a 125 channel analogue tuner. |

Digital Video Broadcast - Cable (DVB-C) cards can tune as many channels as you can get. What you may be referring to (with 125 channesls, etc) is analogue TV broadcast via cable, not digital TV
