You might want to look at the Hauppage's WinTV 1800. Like the 1600, but is a
PCIe card and they were talking about it receiving QAM signal as well.
Slightly more than a 1600, onlie about $115, in stores about 150

MS Media Center does not support the QAM channels when cable is connected to.
the digital antenna connection you have to use the Hauppauge WinTV2k
application to receive these channel Yes you have to use a splitter if you
want to receive both analog and digital programs from the same source.
Otherwise you have to your analog and digital source connected separately to
the same connection such as cable to the analog tuner and an antenna to the
digital tuner.

I just bought the Hauppuage HVR1600 with ASTC/QAM/NTSC tuners. WinXP MCE
works fine with regular cable channels, but when it came to the hidef ,
it
asks if the antenna is connected. Well it isn't. It's connected to my
cable
which transmits open QAM channels (that's reg hidef channels like NBC,
CBS,
etc, but rebroadcast on different channels). Is there any way to get MCE
to
tune these channels?
Hi Paul,
I am planning to purchase the Hauppauge HVR1600 and according to Hauppauge
they state:
If you are using digital cable which broadcast the local ATSC channels,
you
can receive these QAM channels with the new WinTV v6 application. QAM is
only
supported on product codes 74021 and 74041 (found on the tuner label).
Note: not all cable TV networks send clear QAM channels
So why can't you watch QAM Hi-Def broadcasts for clear channels like NBC
and
CBS via cable? I imagine that if one uses an outside antenna then the same
can be accomplished with the ATSC signal OTA.
What confuses me though is that I thought with XP Media Center 2005, one
was
only able to use/access one tuner, hence with a dual/hybrid tuner tuner,
one
had to have another separate tuner using another slot in order to actually
have 2 tuners functioning. Has that been resolved with this new tuner from
Hauppauge? Also if you have been able to get this to work, please comment
on
what it is you are actually able to see -
1) Only regular cable
2) Hi-Def QAM, etc.
They also have the HVR1800, but I believe that needs an e-PCI slot and has
an FM receiver which the HVR 1600 doesn't.
