When will Hauppauge release a combo Tuner?

When will Hauppauge release a combo Tuner with Analog TV and video recorder with hardware MPEG encoder and decoder, Digital Cable QAM(64,256) modulated, and High Definition TV receiver?

Sasem already released a USB device like you describe:

I don't really care if they ever release another HD card, their last attempt was dismal, and cards like the MyHD and AccessDTV are out now and are very nice cards. The ADTV even has support for viewing QAM (64 I think) but almost no one has had success with it.

I'll be quite happy when Sage adds support for the ADTV or Fusion cards.

Well if want REAL combo Tuner so it not HDTV but take look at any way Canopus MTV3000FX that close thing to dual tuner
I think that device will allow you ot use one at time stanger89.
Just one small problem with Digital Cable QAM it may not work on all Cable system in tell one standard format.

The USB HDTV doesn't have QAM according to Cliff Watson.

Actually his exact words went something like this "The USB-HDTV doesn't have QAM and you can take that to the bank."


I think the big H is taking a step back to see how things are going to work out on the HDTV front.

I can't read Japanese. Where can we buy this?

[stanger89]

It's almost $600 and it's a pretty safe bet it doesn't work with SageTV.

You can't buy it any where other then in Japan but if you do get one you need lean Japanese becuase it only in Japanese need to say.
Yup that rigth stanger89 pretty safe say it not going to work with SageTV

I spoke with a Hauppauge rep recently at a vendor fair who claims that they will soon have a product in the 1st quarter 2006 that would support QAM encoding. They wouldn't give me more details than that. Perhaps more people can email Haupauge to see if there is some truth to that...
