I have a DCT capable computer with 3 DCT's on it. Unfortunately, despite
what I have read on-line about how to connect it and modify the registry, I
have not been able to run with 3 DCT's. So I was thinking. What would
happen if I hooked the DCT up to one of my other Vista computer with Media
Center. Would it work for everything but networks like HBO and ESPN? Or
would it not work at all.

Any answers out there?

It may not work at all, since your non-Digital Cable Ready PC doesn't have
the correct BIOS information. It might only limit it to no Cable Card use.
You'd have to go in and "scan for services". Any unencypted channels would
be added to the Guide in the 2xxx range if it works at all.
