I have two of these cards for sale. I only plugged them into my PC to see if they would work, as I was building a HTPC, but then I got a HD TiVo for X-Mas and never built the box.
These cards have been opened but they are brand new, and I originally spend $172 ($86 ea) on the cards.

Digital QAM features
If you are using digital cable which broadcasts digital cable channels "in the clear" (clear QAM), you can receive these QAM channels with the new WinTV v6 application.
Note: not all cable TV networks broadcast clear QAM channels
Note: Vista Media Center does not currently support clear QAM channels. To watch clear QAM channels, you should use the Hauppauge WinTV v6 application.
