the website never gets updated, the HD3000 DOES support QAM, I've been using it this way for about 2 months now. QAM is used by cable companies, so if you recieve your HDTV via a cable line then you would use QAM(most likely QAM256). I really like my HD3000 and it was a snap to setup since the 2.6.11 and up kernels have the drivers for it. I think the HD5000 is also supported in MythTV, and I've heard it has a better ATSC tuner which will come in handy if you recieve your HD over the air and your signal strength is weak.
