Confused - HD Questions..

Can I bother someone to please answer a few questions on the HD possibilities within Sage? I have read through the forums and see a few options to get HD working, but I am still unclear on some things.

Are all HD options only Over-Air (OTA)?

And when I see someone say "unencrypted QAM", does that refer to non-OTA HD?

With V3, will HD options probably also only be OTA (at least for a while)?

Hoping to find a non-OTA solution. I get crappy reception in my area with anything involving Air-based transmission, so the OTA HD options are only possible if I mount an antenna on the roof. Needless to say the wife doesn't exactly love that idea...

That's all BDA (the driver model Sage will be taking advantage of) only supports OTA at the moment.

QAM bascially means cable.

Probably

Why is it that GotAllMedia supports QAM http://www.gallm.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?t=195 and the rest of the world does not?

EDIT: NEVER MIND... I was confused by repeated references to setting up Fusion QAM. They weren't saying they were actually using QAM, just the version of the card that has the word QAM in its title. So it looks like GotAllMedia does not have some sort of magic way of accessing QAM on the Fusion.
