Hello,
I am hoping to gather some recommendations regarding the following setup:
I will be using a digital cable box. Cable comes in form the wall directly into the digital cable box. From there it oututs in component video/audio. So, my question is what type of hardware do i need to purchase that can utilize this setup. I currently have 2 Hauppauge pvr 150's laying around.

I will be using a normal component video/audio TV.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

By component, do you mean HD? If so, there is no tuner card w/ component in I'm aware of.

Those are RCA connectors. The video is composite, not component. Most any tuner supported under Linux have composite in. Are you looking for a software or hardware based tuner?
