I know the tuner cards I have, except my Leadtek 2000, have BDA drivers, but are you saying Snapstream isn't pursuing QAM because it isn't in the MS specs?

I was being rhetorical in my OP. I think Snapstream could do QAM but it is my opinion that they don't want to commit their limited rersources to a feature that will benefit relatively few BTV users. Unless you get analog cable service directly from the wall, QAM is of no benefit and while the cable services may continue to provide analog service for the forseeable future, it will likely be very limited - perhaps a dozen channels and mostly the local "must carry" channels.
