Ongoing A QAM/HDTV capture card that works with MP? (1 Viewer)

[Craysh]

I'm building my first HTPC and I plan to get cable (since I can't change channels on my HTPC with satellite). I'll probably be getting comcast which requires QAM for HDTV unless I'm mistaken.
Are there any good capture cards that are compatible with MP for this?

The hauppauge 1600 works with the tv server (which is in beta) and I would assume the 1800 does also. QAM is sort of a mixed bag, especially with comcast. Here in Chicago, they seem to be encrypting the locals and everything else is kind of random.

Well, isn't that craptastic (yes, a play on comcastic)
What cable companies are more user friendly? (or should I say PC friendly)

Check out the HDHomerun, it's a dual tuner that runs over your network, supports MediaPortal, and Clear QAM.
