Cable boxes and satellite receivers can include channels that are either standard or high definition. In Media Center, a digital high-definition signal that is transmitted through one of these boxes will be converted to an analog standard-definition signal.
Connect the cable from the cable source wall jack to the cable input jack on the cable box or satellite receiver. If you have two cable boxes or two satellite receivers that you want to use with Media Center, you can use a splitter to divide the TV signal from the wall jack to the boxes.

If you have a digital cable service from your local cable provider, and you own a specially certified PC known as a Digital Cable Ready computer, you may be able to watch and record digital cable TV in Media Center. To do this you'll need a couple things: a digital cable tuner , which is a device that comes with most Digital Cable Ready computers, and a CableCARD , which is a device that must be inserted into your digital cable tuner to allow it to receive digital cable.
A CableCARD serves as a replacement for a digital set-top box, and can only be obtained from a participating digital cable provider. With the proper CableCARD inserted into a compatible digital cable tuner, you can watch digital cable channels both standard and high definition that are available by subscription from your cable provider. It's recommended that you work with a cable technician from your service provider to set up a digital cable tuner and signal.
