Yes, only local and a few random ED digital channels they don't scramble. Its pointless except that it gives me a way to record the locals in HD easily, which is great in primetime. I'm even thinking of getting 1 more so I can record from two HD channels this way. The downside is it's expensive for doing that, I wish the pcHDTV folks made a dual HD tuner card with no NTSC components (since I don't want to use them). Or a single tuner ATSC card with a DVI/HDMI 1080p compatible output with onboard mpeg2/mpeg4 decoding and optical/coax digital audio output. The first company to make such a card will own the HD-HTPC market.
