More Information

Does anyone know if this is possible? I subscribe to Rogers HD/Digital (in Toronto, Canada), and have an HD PVR in one room... but I want to also watch HD/Digital on my PC in another room... do I need to rent another box, or is their a tuner card out there that will decode Rogers' signal?

And no, the HD PVR is far enough away from my PC that connecting to it is NOT an option...

I currently have an analog card that works on the basic cable, but I want access to the HD channels as well...

Anyone have any ideas?

Oh, I should also add that I called Rogers Tech Support, and they said that they only officially support boxes/terminals purchased from them or through a licensed reseller - but that it might be possible to do what I want... naturally they can't make any suggestions.
