I believe the Dvico Fusions are QAM capable but btv does not support it (yet?). There are workarounds in the forums.

No cablecard tuner is out yet, ATI has one but I don't think it is available. Also there is a big issue with what computers it will work on, content providers may not let it work on homebuilt pc's, you may need vista, and cable companies may refuse to provide you with a cable card for a computer (they are required by law to provide it for tv's, but not necessarily other devices).

In other words, you can record OTA HD, you may be able to record unencrypted (usually no different than OTA) HD with a QAM workaround, and I doubt there will be an easy solution to cablecards anytime soon.

THere are Firewire recording workarounds, which should (or might) give you the ability to record HD content from a cable (or satelite) box. Again, btv doesn't support this but there is a working thread. There are some boxes with firewire ports and there are companies that will install ports to boxes for a fee. Not sure if or how these work with content like HBO or discovery, and not sure if that won't be eliminated in the future as providers clamp down their control.
