I am missing the original part of the email containing the question, but I can only assume that the question is, "Can the HVR950 be used to pick up QAM?" The answer is, no. Unfortunately, the Xceive XC3028 silicon tuner is unable to receive QAM256 digital streams. The lgdt3303 demodulator, however, is able to demodulate QAM256, QAM64, 8VSB and 16VSB. Its only practical use within the hvr950 is for VSB only. Matthew has mentioned the HVR1600 -- This is a completely different device, using entirely different hardware, and it is a PCI device. On the bright side, the HVR1600 is able to tune both QAM and VSB, but Linux support is far from ready. (The right people are working on it, though :-) ) Sorry for the bad news.
