Title: QAM support?
Post by: patricklang on October 02, 2007, 01:15:15 pm

Are any QAM devices supported for MC11 or 12?  I'm considering the following devices:
Avermedia A180 - hybrid QAM/ATSC
Silicon Dust HD HomeRun - dual QAM/ATSC

My goal is to record and playback 480i, 720p, and 1080i broadcasts that don't have the content protect flag, and timeshift them, and cross-encode to another video format for portable playback.

No QAM support yet.

MC currently supports ATSC and DVB-T.

What is the difference between ATSC and QAM?  I've read that ATSC is "over the air"; does this refer to the HD signal that can be received via antenna?  Is QAM what is provided by the cable company over coax (i.e. digital cable)?

You got it right.
