What type of cable card slot is it? Is it an M-Card slot or a single tuner slot card?

O. T. Flowers, It has a M-Card slot. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I does not look like that a card cane be installed on the PC so that rules out TV tuner cards option. The only thing that might work is something like - "SiliconDust HDHomeRun DUAL High Definition Digital TV Tuner HDHR3-US (Black) ". There are caveats with this item such as it needs to be connected to an hardwired Ethernet network as well as the PC and then to the source for the TV signal. Also if you are looking to watch cable channels they can not be encrypted. Only digital channels can be watched. I would look at the questions and answers section for this product on Amazon for other caveats. Other than this I can not help you further. Good luck.

yes this attaches to your local network via cat5 cable and to your cable service with standard RG6 coaxial cable. you will need a multi stream cable card from the cable company. it is important that you get the M card or the tuner will not work but I had no problem getting the correct cable card from Comcast. once you set it up and install the software and driver from silicon dust included or downloaded you run the windows media center tv setup and it will find the tuners. if you are only using clear unencrypted channels the cable card may not be needed but to get pay channels or if charter encrypts all channels like Comcast does the cable card is needed.

Hi Peter, no the cable card slot means you can put a cable card in there. Some cable companies will allow you to insert a card (they supply) instead of having a set-top box. The other connections are worth the money if you plan on using them. The FireWire and USB would be great if you plan on hooking a media reader or DV camera to the television to look at pictures or movies. Remember, these can be used as computer monitors as well so computers ports or becoming much more common.

there is a short micro coax to RF cable adapter that comes with the card.Your normal RF 75 ohm coax that hooks to a TV set tuner will connect to the card via the adapter cable.

The card is Axis Electronics. More specifically, it is AX88772B. Here is the information. http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID;=105;71;101 Not sure how it'd help you, other than to say network cards for 10/100 mbps connections pretty much are similar nowadays.

No. As other stated, the 6188 does have the cable card. Thing is, even if you do have a cable card you will not get the advanced features of a cable box right now including PPV and on-demand. PiP on the 6188 also requires two tuners I believe. The 6188 is also a lot more expensive than the 6187 on amazon.com

With my Tivo XL4 I only use one cable card. I'm with Cox cable if that makes a difference.

It is a tv tuner.It only receives your local stations. Number of stations will also depend on the quality of your tv antena. It is not pc tv.You can also hook it up to your cable box.

This would depend on what slot the TV card needs, there are no extra PCI Express slots available, only two of the small PCI slots

Looking at the model specifications, it seems the only free slot you have available is a pci-e (express) slot. That's no problem though, here's an example of one with the correct interface: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166019&Tpk=rosewill%20rc%20411

Yes- The (any) tuner card is hard drive agnostic - all it does is dump the data to whatever drives are set up by WMC. Mine is in a Win7 HTPC running media center quite happily. From the PC perspective you *should* be good as most recent BIOS can handle larger drives but make sure you have enough power being supplied and try not to daisy chain too many drives on one sata power cable

I have one installed in my windows 7 system. I just went to the local Comcast office and picked up a MCard and installed it myself. Not really any issues to speak of. The CableCard was activated using an automated telephone system. While the card was working, I did have to call Comcast support to complete the "pairing" of the CableCard to the Ceton Tuner. Afterward, I was able to access Premium channels, like HBO. Comcast charges a $8.00 digital outlet fee for the Cablecard. There is no fee, if the Ceton Tuner is the only device you use to receive TV.

The end of the antenna cable is a female. To make sure you're looking at the correct end, it's the end that connects to your adapter card.

You just need one cablecard which is fairly inexpensive. The first card may actually be free.

It can be replaced as it fits into the board like RAM. If the antenna will work with your replacement card is another question. I beleive the stock unit is a two wire setup.

Dont know about USB tuner, but I am using an internal mini pci-e tuner in mine HP (Avermedia) brand. Computer came with spot for second mini pci-e full size card but without connector. I had to purchase and solder in connector and plug in HP mini pci-e tuner card and install a antenna connector in place of the lock slot. A lot of work - took about 4 hours and I know it voided my warranty but it works great and does not have a USB tuner sticking out.
