I have an older Pentium D 2.66 LGA775 just sitting around and i want to make it a set top box. The processor should be more than enough for a HTPC and an ATI card with the HDMI video and sound so getting the a/v to the TV is easy.
We recently have gotten digital cable with the HD package from east link with 2 receivers. One of which is HD PVR and the one I have to use with the HTPC is the standard SD one (Motorola DCT2524). My main concern is the HD content. Through the coax output on the SD box to my TV I can hear the HD content but I cannot see it since it's coming through the coax, which is fine but if I were to pop in a Tuner card, would I get the HD channels. Also, do I take the output from the box, or from the wall.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
