Dual HDTV tuner/recorder supports QAM under Vista

Silicondust's
HDHomerun Dual HDTV Receiver/Tuner sports the most appropriate
name. Unlike cards installed in a PC, the HDHomerun connects to
your home network. The brilliant concept allows for compatible
machines to connect to the tuners for watching Live HDTV or recording to
hard disk. Unlike most cards for PCs, the two tuners allow
multiple users, and Microsoft's BDA drivers offers a wide range of third
party user interfaces like MCE/Vista, SageTV, BeyondTV, VLC, and even
MythTV (Linux) to control the tuners over LAN. Tune and record two
over-the-air TV and/or un-encrypted HDTV
cable channels to your PC's hard drive over LAN.
Network connected HDHomerun is simple to install, and uses any hardware or programs capable
of decoding transport streams to view. Silicondust offers some of
the best user support with an active community of users
on-line. HD Homerun is the most flexible and sensible way to
add HDTV to all the PCs in your network.
