Unfortunately, no.

The ATI TV Wonder HDTV side is ATSC only.
You'll need an OCUR setup with cable cards to record in HDTV without a set
top box.

I use Comcast cable service. On one of my system, I have comcast HD
setup box. And it works fine. Then I use Windows XP Media Center 2005
to connect to the comcast cable directly without the setup box. So, I
can record SD channels. After getting used to watch HD, SD recording
is really bad. A friend of mine use a HD TV tuner directly without the
setup box, he can watch HD channels just fine, like 2 is ABC, on his
TV, 2_1 will be HD ABC. So, I did a search and found ATI TV Wonder
650. Looks like it could record HD. So, my question is will this card
work with Comcast Cable without Setup box? Can I use Media Center TV
Recording software to schedule recording directly?
