I've heard that they were planning to add native HD DVD support in Rollup 1. They are also planning on adding QAM support. This will be a separate update from SP1 though. Probably won't be released until Q2 or Q3 2008.
In the mean time QAM support in Media Center can be had throgh HD HomeRun tuner. It is awesome. I record all my locals in HD for free (which makes up about 90% of what I watch). I only pay for basic cable.
The point is with how HD DVD appears to be on the downfall, the addition of native support (if it ever is released) will likely be pointless in the long run (eg. everyone going BD).
Media Center doesn't currently support QAM. The HD HomeRun works by tricking Media Center into thinking that it's receiving OTA HD. You have to use their software to assign the proper channels. It all works pretty well however.
Well your wrong Media center DOES support QAM by its self , I'm using it right now , with nothing else needed , i just connected the ATI tv wonder and when it found it , i clicked " Other services" and it got all QAM stations
Media Center only supports QAM using a Digital Cable Tuner/OCUR/CableCARD Tuner. It doesn't support QAM from any other card. The HDHR can be used for QAM if you don't have a CableCARD PC.
“That iconic Klipsch sound is here in full force, with crisp highs, delicate mids (which can easily have a bit more meat added with an EQ tweak) and tight, booming bass.”

Doesn't Windows Media Center already support QAM with a compatible tuner?
