Thanks

This card supposedly supports QAM. I haven't tried it, however.

See this page for details.

No QAM for this card. Confirmed by Kworld's tech support I talked to.
You need to go to the much more expensive model to get QAM.
I'd suggest go to avsforum and look for HTPC stuffs, ton of info on these.
This card basically is a steal for me by dumping off the ATI HDTV Wonder to this.
It works on my x64 O/S and get the DVR cacability for free plus the BeyondTV software for nothing.

Well, some folks are reporting success using this card with unencrypted QAM. See this page. Again, I have no way to try it, so YMMV.

One thing is certain. I'm not going to mess up my x64 driver with this hack driver.
I'm a tweaker but I will take a rain check on it.

Duh, Jebus I am 2 dumb 4 that stuff and the card is now $75 so I will 4get it I guess.

Has any one seen or received their rebate thru Kworld yet?
I bought mine during xmas 06 sale and submitted the rebate around the same time.
IS it too early for this store? Well it's almost 8 weeks now.

my Kworld HD tuner card sucks btw


drives etc haven't been updated in forever it seems ... trying to get card to work with something besides beyondtv is difficult.


just my 2 cents

i think i fixed this before ....... try looking at the key and trying the "zero" and the letter "O"

letter "I" versus lower case letter "L"


iirc correctly they keep putting something their key that confuses people.
