No, unfortunately SnapStream HD capabilities requires you to know the frequencies of your QAM channels. SnapStream HD cannot scan for clear QAM channels on a cable feed. SnapStream cannot decrypt HD channels on a digital cable or satellite feed, nor can it capture HD content from a digital cable or satellite set-top box. For capturing HD channels from digital cable or satellite, we recommend using a set-top box with an S-video output with the Best MPEG-2 quality on our SnapStream SD, which will provide very high SD image quality.
