GREAT THREAD! I needed to learn a bit about qam etc and apparently I came to the right place. Thanks Daniel.
I am getting a new USB tv tuner for my PC. This model has ATSC/NTSC/QAM. This one:
[Link: canadacomputers.com]My question is: when I finally break down and pay Rogers (grrrrr, rogers) for HD service and rent a stupid box from them... will I be able to somehow get HDTV on my PC via my ATSC USB tuner? Something like a cable splitter after their box, one input going into my hdtv and one input into my usb tuner? Would that work? I think the spliter would block the box's signal back to Rogers and theyd cut me off or something? So then what advantage is there for a Canadian to have ATSC on their usb tv tuner? I think I'm still a bit confused... :)
