In the US, some new HDTVs have "QAM" tuners (which I think means that it can view unencrypted 64-QAM and 256-QAM signals over cable).

Do these DVB-C cards, which are not meant for use in the US, support viewing of these signals? I posted a link earlier that does claim to have a QAM tuner, but:

1. Will this card be supported by MediaPortal?
2. I would like to have some choice in buying a TV card, so thats why I am interested in knowing if the DVB-C cards will work in the US for HD signals.

Here is another card I found:

I am sure that I am not the only one wondering this in the US. I appreciate the comments so far! Thanks!
