WinTV GO tv tuner /software

[MEPC]

I just got a tv tuner and i've heard about a software that i can use to descramble cable tv. Is it true? and what software can i use to do that.

What do you mean "descramble"? If you have a digital cable box, you have to input an analog signal from that box into your tuner. Otherwise, if you've just got normal cable service that doesn't require the digital channel changer, plug the coax cable straight into your TV card, and, assuming you've got the supporting software, you can change the channels from your computer and do time-phase recording. The only cards that do digital are pulling the signal "over the air" (OTA).

There is a semblance of truth. You could descamble long obsolete analog scrambling signals. But the chances your cable provider sticking with that system are slim to none.
