AverMedia beta software adds ClearQAM support to Vista

If you want to watch HDTV on a media center PC, you generally have two choices. You can get a CableCard tuner for handling encrypted high definition cable, or you can get an HDTV tuner that handles over the air and unencrypted (ClearQAM) cable signals.

AverMedia's AverTV Combo PCIe x1 M780 tuner is one of the latter. But so far, it's only been able to pick up over the air signals, but no ClearQAM.

Now it looks like the folks at AverMedia have issued a driver update that adds ClearQAM support for the tuner. The driver comes in x86 and x64 varieties, and works only with Windows Vista.
