Default FusionHDTV5 RT Gold tuner?

DIVCO FusionHDTV5 RT Gold has Vista Premium compatability and logo
completion, but will thte digital QAM tuner work with Vista media center (ie
Home Premium)?
I can not find an answer in 3 days of searching newsgroups and Microsoft
sites.

MCE 2005, the tuner will work with an antenna for OTA signals only! Also you
need to install another analog tuner before MCE will even detect the Fusion
card.

I record HDTV to the hard drive, cable conection is a must for me. The
antenna signal freeezes when we use the microwave or a storm comes through.
Central Florida see a few of these. (Like last night! Hope everyone stays
safe!)

Any ideas?
Thanks

"FusionHDTV products are a premium range digital TV tuners designed to
receive and record free-to-air broadcast television"

This sounds like it's still OTA.

I have a FusionHDTV and would never get one again. Ok, the hardware may
work but the drivers/software/support is not so good. I felt robbed when I
bought it for MCE and have never got it to work even in that.

Got a reply from DIVCO!
They say it is a Microsoft issue. OK Bill when will it work?

=Hi.
It is nothing to do with our driver now.
MCE program doesn't support the QAM frequency at this moment.
We know that MS is working this function now and they have a plan to
support the MCE-QAM until this year.
Thanks.

Maybe that is why the cable card units are not yet available since they will
require QAM in Vista MC.
However, I believe Sony has said their cable card unit will be available in
March so I would expect QAM support by then.
I was not aware that they are also working on QAM for MC in MCE for later
this year also.

Well... that gives us something upon which to hang our hopes.

Of course, my unit doesn't work properly with DVICO's own application
either (crashes when you try to change channels, and just about all of the
rest of the time too)--not simply in MC--so it's hard to believe that it's
100% a Microsoft problem.

FusionHDTV Express is currently thier top o' the line. It does work fine,
has great 5.1 sound and displays 1080i & 1080p. The problem that everyone is
having is Microsoft, for reasons unknown, does not read QAM. This is a HUGE
issue and I hope they will fix this soon. It is a huge dissapointment that
they cannot see this frequency in Vista. I guess I will hold off on getting
an XBox to use as a media center until MS gets this done!~
