ATI HDTV Wonder Question

[SLCentral]

I'm thinking about grabbing one of these for my new HTPC setup (with Samsung HL-P5085W 50" HLP TV), but I have a big question first. I currently have a Comcast Digital Cable HDTV Cable Box, which hooks up from the wall, into the box, and then into the TV. It might go through the VCR at some point as well, but I can't recall that right now, though I don't think it matters.

I want to get this HDTV Tuner card, but is there any way I can use the signal from the cable box in the TV Tuner while still being able to have it connected to the TV? Can I split the signal going out from the cable box to the TV so it goes to the TV and the computer? Does this make sense ?

I know theres an antenna included in the package, but theres no way in hell that I'll have a huge antenna ruining the cleanliness of my setup . All the cables are hidden, and everything looks so clean, I don't want a huge antenna sticking out!

Thanks in advance!

It is for OTA broadcast DTV only. You can certainly hook up your Comcast box to it using an analog connector, but it will be downconverted 480i going into your PC, not HD.

My antenna is mounted out of sight in my attic btw.
