AZBox and QAM

**skynyrd** · 11-11-2009 07:41 PM

I am looking into getting back into FTA after having cable for awhile and forgetting it for a little while.. I want to get a AZBox HD Elite, as it seems like it would be a great upgrade from my Coolsat 5000.

I saw a decription on an auction on Ebay that the AZBox supports DVB-C. A quick search on google showed that this was QAM (However, I am not sure it it is the american version of QAM). If I downgrade my cable, I would still be able to get some QAM channels... Therefore, I was wondering if anyone can confirm that they can view their QAM channels through their AZBox?

you would need the tuner for that and it is only for Europe specs. Wont work here in the US

Don't waste you money. DVB-C is not the same as QAM.

Once again, the US chose a format that is different than the majority of the world.

US - The Majority of the World
NTSC - PAL
ATSC - DVB-T
QAM - DVB-C
