Hmm, are you sure the channels over 99 aren't digital? Here, everything over 99 is digital and I'm not sure any TV card will get digital.
Good question....
After checking...99 is it...
Any idea on how to get the digital channels?
I'm trying to stream my cable across my wireless network.
If I can't get the digital channels involved then where is the advantage over the cable tuner and a DVD player?

Hauppauge does make a line of digital TV cards. The one below goes for $149. You can also go the Tivo route, which hooks up to a network I believe, but I guess that would have to be hardwired.
