Digital Cable Advisor
What is Digital Cable Advisor?
The Digital Cable Advisor measures system parameters such as CPU speed, RAM, graphics card support for hardware acceleration, and digital connection capabilities. If the PC meets the minimum requirements, the tool enables digital cable functionality on the PC. Then, users can add a digital cable tuner with a CableCARD™, allowing them to access all of their high definition and premium cable content within Windows Media Center, but without using a set-top box. If the PC does not meet the minimum requirements, the Digital Cable Advisor will indicate which components failed and make some basic recommendations for upgrading the PC to accommodate digital cable.
