AVerTV Bravo Hybrid PCI-E tuner handles Clear QAM

AVerMedia's latest PCI-E tuner isn't chock full of extras, but it's definitely packing quite a punch for $79.99. The unit plays nice with ATSC, NTSC and Clear QAM signals along with FM radio, and aside from letting folks tune into HD programs over-the-air, it can also record directly in H.264 format to save space on your hard drive and provide easy exporting to iPods / PMPs. Just what the doctor ordered? Fantastic -- it's available right now.

Any guinea pigs willing to test this out? I see that one reviewer at Newegg states that the tuner was unable to pick up clear-QAM for them.

Sounds great. Too bad Vista Media Center still doesn't support QAM tuners.

Well, it just works perfectly for me. Clear-QAM feature only works on its application (AVer MediaCenter), not on MCE. I think that is why that user cannot get clear-QAM.
