At my house I get much more than basic cable using the Rogers cable tuner 
box at the main TV. The TV tuner card in my PC also recieves the cable 
signal without an external tuner box. I am able to watch and record any 
cable channels from 2 through 70 inclusive.

With all the talk of going digital for TV broadcasts, I do wonder how the 
signals on cable TV may be affected at some point. I hope Rogers won't drop 
all analog signals off the cable but I don't think I would be too surprised 
if I heard of plans to do that at some point. It would be a big hassle 
though for people with VCR's and DVD recorders. They would need lots of 
additional converter boxes and/or digital/HD tuners until the recorders come 
with HD compatible tuners in them.
