I would suggest getting not just a yes or no answer but how well.  I
know the fusionHDTV 5 LITE does work, but it's a piece of junk,
especially when it comes to QAM, and so are a couple other cards 
from what I've heard.

What I'm aware of is: (1 bad, 10 perfect)

Model			OTA	QAM 64	QAM 256
pcHDTV HD-2000		8	No	No
pcHDTV HD-3000		9	9	9
Air2pc (2nd gen)	9	2	7
FusionHDTV 5 GOLD-X	9.5	?	7
FusionHDTV 5 LITE	6	?	3
