Buying a Hauppauge 1800

[SageGk]

Ok, I've made my decision to return my PVR150 and get an 1800. I was thinking of splitting the cable-in connection and running a STB to 1 tuner and the other cable line to the other tuner to see if I get any QAM channels. Would this be a reasonable alternative (to the QAM setup) to trying to pick up HD channels with an antenna?

That's what I do. You still have to follow the QAM set-up guide, however.

Let me amend that. I split the cable in three directions (actually more, but this purpose, 3):

1. Into analog on 1800
2. Into digital on 1800
3. Into STB (which I also port out to the S-video on the 1800, until that HD thingy is released)

I wouldn't recommend going through the STB first.

Can you elaborate a little more please? How exactly do you use the 1800 with 3 connections going to it? Thanks
