I have just purchased two ATI TV WONDER 650 NTSC/ATSC/Clear QAM usb card tuners and I am currently running Vista MCE. My question is, will SageTV support Clear QM with these cards. I had no idea Vista MCE did not and if you guys will support it with this hardware I am switching ...

I had it working in my machine before I ditched cards for capture... Some others have had mixed results.

There's a 14 day trial of SageTV, have a crack at it and see if it meets your needs.. Don't forget to check out some of the etra goodies folks have created (Sage MCE for one, ComSkip for another)

Thanks! What is Sage MCE ? I figured that was the name of the SAGE TV syute?

There is no "Sage MCE". The full SageTV software product is officially called SageTV Media Center. There's also a popular third-party skin called (confusingly) SageMC. That's probably what Diginerd is referring to.
