Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250, record HD without cable converter box?

[chayos00]

Hey guys I was wanting to turn my PC into a "DVR" so to speak, will the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250 Dual TV Tuner / Encoder 1229 PCI-Express x1 Interface be able to record my Comcast TV signal as HD or will I only be able to get SD? I won't have a converter connected so I hope it would work without it.

Would I record HD or SD video?

If Comcast uses Clear-QAM, then the 2250 will tune in any of the un-encrypted Clear-QAM channels in whatever resolution they are broadcast in - but don't expect to get any premium channels this way.
