The remote works great and I really love the setup. I'm not sure how it'd work if we ever get cable but we don't have it now so it's irrelevant. If I can get the tuner to work with HD channels over digital cable, there's no way I'd ever go back to renting the DVR from Comcast!
I don't think Vista's MC supports ClearQAM. That's what would stop me from using it with cable, right? Will 7's MC fix that?
Yes. Although you need a cable card solution for the scrambled channels. I just use the free unscrambled cable now, and if free cable isn't available, I use an antenna.
<--cheap bastard.
