AFAIK, both PCHDTV boards support both QAM[64/128/256] and 8VSB. But, only 1 at a time. You have to specify the signal type to scan for when you do the scan. Originally, I had mine setup for OTA (8VSB). Then, after my cable went digital only, I connected it to my cable, and I rescanned as QAM-256. According to the pcHDTV.com WWW site, they have a firmware download for PC-2000 and PC-3000 cards which support > This firmware supports ATSC and QAM on the HD-3000 and ATSC on the HD-2000. So, it seems that with the right firmware, your HD-3000 should do either 8VSB and QAM. -- Kevin J.
