I did not try receiving QAM signals in 32bit. I just read about that today actually which spurred me to try and get my card working again, since I had neglected it since I changed to 64bit. I will make a minimal 32bit install on one of my partitions and give it a try though. But, when I was using 2.6.20-gentoo-r3, I was able to grab 300+ channels using dvbscan and the us-Cable-HRC-center-frequencies-QAM256, which also let me view a few channels using Kaffeine (xine), but I could not get sound. And like I said, in search of fixing the sound and the mpeg error, I changed to vanilla-sources 2.6.20.6 (which I am on now).
scanning ATSC was done with the rf antenna that came supplied with the card. I live in an apartment building located downtown in a large city, so I don't get great reception. with 2.6.20-gentoo-r3 I was able to tune one channel with the rf antenna, but now with 2.6.20.6 vanilla, I can't tune to any channels.

From the IRC logs:
[21:59] <mkrufky> hmmm, this is strange..... i'm looking through
genpatches, and I do not see any patch that would have caused the
problem that |splat| is experiencing

To confirm --> when you were using 32bit, were you able to successfully
receive digital cable sources? (The reason I ask is -- although QAM
should be supported, and there have been rumours that have trickled down
to the list that people are successfully using the HDTV Wonder with QAM
sources, there still has never been an actual user report here on this
mailing list confirming this fact --- (getting user feedback would
definitely be nice, but unfortunately isn't too common). So please!
Help us put this issue to rest!!

Out of curiosity, what happens if you switch RF inputs? There was a
patch submitted about two weeks or so ago that may have affect the RF
inputs on your card ... Though, I don't think that it would have been
picked up and made it into the gentoo sources just yet , but I could be
wrong, so it is worthwhile looking into this. Mike Krufky would
probably have an idea about it.
