ADS Tech HD card???

I see that this card is listed on the "Supported Tuners" list. Has anyone used it? Any comments?

One thing I like is that it has 2 RF connectors so you can use it for OTA ATSC and also for cable NTSC.
Also, "Control TV with IR Remote Control" if this means the remote will learn my TV power/ volume commands and still support the PVR funtionality, that would be a bonus.

I'd like to get a QAM card, (I know Sage does not currently work with QAM on any of them "YET") as it may be a little more future proof.

So what is the "recomended" card among those doing HD now?

I am using 3 VBox USB-A 3560 devices and I am happy with them...they do not support QAM, but they work really well for my OTA HD, plus being USB 2 they are really easy to add to my system.

I heard several people have very good luck with the VBOX PCI Tuners as well.

"No Signal" with VBox USB2 ATSC Tuner

OK, I give up - please help! I have tried everything with two separate computers, and can't get Sage5 to show any video (says "No Signal") when used with the VBox USB2 ATSC tuner. It sets up as if it is going to work, other than no preview.

The tuners work fine with Windows MCE. Yes, I have disabled all 4 MCE-related services (not just stopped) before attempting to use Sage.

I would GREATLY appreciate any suggestions!

Kevin
