Will a Wintv - Pvr 150 Mce card work with digital cable? I'm planning to go digital in the near future and I want to make sure the tuner card I get supports it.

It can work, but not by simply plugging the incoming coax cable straight into the card. You will have to go to the digital cable box first, then out of the cable box and into the PVR card using either the coax, composite or s-video input. If using coax, the PRV card will always need to be on channel 3 or 4. The control of channels, etc. will be limited to either using your cable box remote to change channels, or the IR controller out of the PVR to the cable box. As far as software goes, I would suggest using DScaler, unless you plan to use the PVR functions, then there are a number of different choices for software...
