what did you make the “cookies” you sent us in?
Unfortunately, the card tuner can only handle "basic" cable, and since we upgraded to digital cable, we either have to split the cable coming out the box (in which case the computer can only record what we're watching on the TV) or we need a separate cable box for the card (which costs extra money). But, it does work well for recording from a video tape to a digitized file, or for recording basic TV.
