Can Vista Media Center record unencrypted QAM (Clear QAM)?

Yes. If you have a CableCARD PC you can record unencrypted QAM (Clear QAM) by setting up your Digital Cable Tuners without the CableCARD in the slot. Anything recorded from a Digital Cable Tuner without a CableCARD will be unprotected. The only other way to get unencrypted QAM support in Vista Media Center is to use the HDHomeRun tuner. No other tuners (Fusion, HDTV Wonder, HVR-1600, etc) will allow for unencrypted QAM within Media Center.
