Does it support QAM?

its sussposed too.... Im having a hell of a time with myth tv on debian, i can't get the sql database to connect to even run the setup progam.... If i ever get the thing running will post back here

I'm ready to return the thing.  It can get the (1) off-the-air channel i get here.  Absolutely 0 QAM signals.  The documentation for some of the windows stuff talks about the fact that while the nxt2004 supports QAM, the "rest of the HDTV Wonder supports only 79 channels".  Probably should have just broken down and mail-ordered a real one :)

== QAM-256 does work ==

I can successfully decode QAM-256 from my cable provider with the HDTV Wonder using MythTV.  I have 39 digital channels, including 5 HD channels.  

Make sure you use the CATV tuner, not the DTV tuner.  Also, the MythTV scanner did not pick up HD channels, I used the AZAP method detailed in the MythTV wiki.


'''QAM256 works in Ubuntu 6.10 with mythTV 0.20'''

The build-in mythtv channel scanner worked fine. I choose the QAM256 option. It got a ton of channels, but only about 25 are viewable.
