I am building a new machine and would really like to buy an ALL-IN-WONDER® 9700 PRO. My concern is about getting pay stations. My cable run directly to the tv gets me all my normal tiers of stations, but I must have the box to view HBO ShowTime etc... most of my favorite shows are on pay staitions and I want to be able to record them with this new card. Will I have to ask cable for another box to run between the cable and the puter? What will the qualtiy be like? I imagine from what I've been reading here I will also loose all the remote functions of the card, and will also have to leave the box on the station I want to record.
Help...
thanks

Yes, using the AIW will result with the same restrictions your VCR would normally have, aka you have to use your cable box to tune scrambled stations.
