It looks like they're clearing the HVR-1600, maybe for the HVR-1800? For those of you lucky enough to have this in stock at your Circuit City, it's a great card. According to Newegg, this tunes QAM as well. I'm running 2 of these with GBPVR and it works great. I'm not sure if this is my exact model, but mine tunes QAM and works quite well. There are models that don't do QAM but this doesn't appear to the the castrated model. Just in time to watch the Olympics in HD.

Product Link, $49.96 + tax

Specs @ Newegg, $80+$9 shipping

Picked this up last week. Note that this price is for model 1178 boxes only. Model 1199 was $69.99 and this week shows $99.99

i guess based on the Circuit City description this does not support QAM. More than likely it does but just an FYI incase yours doesn't.

Note: ATSC digital TV is NOT digital cable TV or digital satellite TV. The WinTV-HVR-1600 cannot receive digital cable TV or digital satellite TV.


Update, looks like only certain versions support QAM

From Hauppauge's website

Model numbers
model 01178: WinTV-HVR-1600 with NSTC/ATSC/QAM support, on-board IR receiver and blaster, and English manual
model 01181: WinTV-HVR-1600 with NSTC/ATSC/QAM support, on-board IR receiver and blaster, and French/Englsh manual
model 01101: WinTV-HVR-1600 MC board only with NSTC/ATSC/QAM support, without remote control, with FM radio
model 01183: WinTV-HVR-1600 MC-Kit with NSTC/ATSC/QAM support, Media Center certified remote control and FM radio

If the Circuit City one is model 01178 then it should support QAM. BTW, if you have BeyondTV you can signup for the 4.9 Beta release which supports QAM recordings for Hauppauge HVR 1600.

The nearest store for SF Bay area is Monterrey .

Don't they all support QAM?

Can the 1178 remote be used for things other than MCE?

There were earlier versions that did not support QAM. There's a different version on the Circuit City website which I'm unsure about. I can't speak to the remote as I've never actually used mine.

At this price, I'll have to pick up another. I picked one up when these first came out, still unopened. It probably doesn't support QAM, so I should pick up a newer one that does.

OOS. Too bad, would have picked one up.
