I've managed to get all my cable channels into media center without the use of tuner.
This allows me to watch all channels using my DMA2100 and Xbox360 in every room in the house.
To do this you'll need Mr Dudes modified PLI Jade image, I've tried with the Neutrino beta and DW image and it doesn't work.
You'll also need DVBSBridge Pro for Dreambox available here
DVBLogic - provider of digital streaming connectivity solutions
You'll also need an xmltv grabber from XMLTV GUI
To begin with setup the Dreambox and the channels you require to a single bouquet.
You'll also need to configure network settings to give you a fixed IP Address.
The Dreambox and Media center will need to both be hard wired into your router
Now install the DVBSBridge driver, you can pretty much follow the instuctions provided, once installed change your I.P adress for the dreambox and change the Dreambox streaming port to 31344.
You can then sync your channels, after this you can use the XMLTV grabber to grab some listings for the channels in your bouquet. Then map these channels in the configuration tool. Again the manual provided with DVBSBridge is very good. Now you can setup media center, it won't work well if you already have a dvb-t tuner install so is suggest uninstalling this.
I've tested this on Windows 7 (7020) and it works but streaming sucks to extenders. It works beatifully on Vista X64.
The EPG is a bit odd in that you have to go to the channel for it to load, but once loaded you get a 2 week epg.
Video quality is excellent as you'd expect.
