Hauppauge tuners net QAM support in Vista MCE, thanks to beta plug-in

Folks possessing a Hauppauge HVR-1250, HVR-1600, HVR-1800 or HVR-2250 -- have we got an interesting tidbit for you. A fresh new beta plug-in has surfaced, which promises to give the aforementioned cards ClearQAM support within 32- and 64-bit Vista Media Center environments. Initial reports are somewhat disappointing, but encouraging nonetheless. Those with nerves of steel can hit the read link and proceed to download the beta -- but only if you promise to tell us how it goes in comments below.

Actually, AVerMedia had released 3 corresponding beta VMC QAM plug-ins for their AVerTV Hybrid Volar MAX, AVerTV Bravo Hybrid PCI-E, and even the popular AVerTV Combo PCI-E early this year. Their PM released them on "The Green Button" forum. Every AVerMedia users can download them from the following route.

Actually got these working. Its nice cause it counts both the interfaces as separate tuners. Now I went from one tuner to two :P

Awesome!! I can't wait to go home and try this out! What I'm curious about is how it integrates into the listings.
